Steve,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- as I am taught, Enlightenment is only likely to occur once one has successfully navigated the Bardo and 'achieved', for lack of a better term right now (as ego connotated as it is), Boddhisattvah-hood and ended one's cycle of death and rebirth
- so, would it not be the most rare individual who could gain enlightenment prior to the ending of a life (since having been reborn into that life means there is Karma yet to resolve)??
- an additional question would be: does a boddhisattvah who elects to be re-born to the service of all sentient beings have an Ego as I, a yet to be enlightened being, experience it?
>:-}}
- or, is a boddhisattvah's Ego qualitatively different?
- afterall, boddhisattvahood is not Buddhahood
- boddhisattvah Karma yet to resolve
