Re: [FairfieldLife] Desires and Enlightenment

[Llundrub]

I had a talk with Venerable Ontul Rinpoche where he discussed the 9 yanas or vehicles of Buddhism.   What was interesting to me and seemed to point to me as regards certain memories of mine was that people may become enlightened from a self guided path (and they are called pratyekabuddhas), and yet they may then encounter the Bodhisattva Dharma and then decide to travel that path, instead of the path of personal liberation. That is, they may decide to follow the path of liberating others besides merely themselves.    It seems to me sometimes to make all the difference in the world.
