“There is no way to
gain emancipation through another.” (Suttanipāta: 773) “There
is no way I can emancipate people suffering in this world. " p. 102.
Could anyone help me with understanding of how this quote relates to Bodhisattva Path?
I found variations of Bodhisattva vows, most saying :" However innumerable all beings are, I vow to save them all/ liberate them all."
However one variation struck me:
"Sentient beings are infinite, they will save themselves.
Desires are infinite, they will reach an end by themselves.
Dharmas are infinite, so there is learning, study.
Buddha's way is not above, so it is always accomplished."
