Listener Question Where Are All The Bodhisattvas

Listener Question Where Are All The Bodhisattvas
A listener writes in with an massively scandalous question: if Jodo Shinshu claims that for example you go to the Ecological Utter you come back to this world as a bodhisattva, "where are all these bodhisattvas?!" This begs a lot of questions and raises a lot of issues about Jodo Shinshu Buddhism with the most significant since, what is a bodhisattva? We can be incorporated of them as "Buddhas in training," real animate beings operate creature actions; but we can as well as be incorporated of them as "measureless" or semi-spiritial beings, possibly working overcome the scenes. But Irk points out that according to Shinran, set out in the Ecological Utter leads not to bodhisattva-hood -- but to skillfully avant-garde Buddhahood! That, of course, begs the enigma of, well, "where are all the Buddhas?" So we do our best to award about how we can understand these wisdom and put them fashionable practice in our unexciting lives in both spiritual and practical terms.
