Shawn Hi Shawn, No Bodhisattva ever made that vow. The vow was made before attainment. It's a useless vow, there are no other unenlightened beings to be saved "I am" the last one. 'Everyone and everything' is waiting for 'me' (pretending for my sake) until I am ready to give up the game. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
