This study deals mainly with the concept of the Maha Bodhisatta in Theravada Buddhism. It starts with the development of early Buddhism in which chapter is tried to explain what the main differences are between Theravada on the one hand and Mahayana on the other hand. The next chapter is a short explanation of the concept of the Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. Next follows a discussion of the concept of the Bodhisatta in Theravada, such as types, powers and characteristics of Bodhisattas, the 32 Marks of a Great Man, spheres of existence and the four resolutions of a Bodhisatta. Then there is a chapter referring to the value of the Jatakas. Another chapter deals with the Paramis, the Perfections. A separate chapter is devoted to the future Buddhas. Finally there is a short survey and a comparison of the concepts of Bodhisatta/Bodhisattva in Theravada and Mahayana. [more]

The obscurest period in the history of Buddhism is that which follows the reign of Asoka, but the enquirer cannot grope for long in these dark ages without stumbling upon the word Mahayana.
