об отказе от махаяны (из треда старцевада)

Of the above terms referring either to Gotama Bodhisatta or to any Buddha-to-be, sabbaññu-bodhisatta is of great significance from the point of view of the original sense of the word bodhisatta. It has been shown that the term bodhisatta is used in the Pali tradition including the Aṭṭhakathās to mean: (1) a being in quest of the truth, and (2) former existences of Gotama Buddha, and past and future Buddhas. Both meanings suggest that he is still in the state before the attainment of enlightenment. Sabbaññu, on the other hand, is a term very often used to qualify the Buddha(s), A peculiarity lies, therefore, in that it is used together with the term bodhisatta. If a bodhisatta is sabbaññu (omniscient), then there would be nothing that he should strive for. He is a Buddha himself. Them is no distinction whatsoever in achievements between bodhisatta and Buddha. The usage of the word sabbaññu-bodhisatta must therefore be understood from a different viewpoint: it is indeed meant (1) to differentiate Buddhas from other beings, probably pacceka-buddhas and disciples, and (2) to place more emphasis on the greatness of Buddhas in general and Gotama Buddha in particular.
