are found in the Theravada, Mahayana, and Bon traditions. Literally, they are states
of mind that bring bodhisattvas to the far shore - namely, to enlightenment.
Although shravakas (listeners to Buddha's teachings who aim for the liberation of
an arhat) may also develop these attitudes, they are not considered "far-reaching"
unless they are conjoined with a bodhichitta aim. The Theravada version of
the Previous Life Accounts (sKyes-rab, Skt. Jataka) of Buddha when he practiced
as a bodhisattva speaks of ten far-reaching attitudes. The Sarvastivada version has
only six. Within Mahayana, both The Prajnaparamita; Sutras on Far-Reaching
Discriminating Awareness, Perfection of Wisdom Sutras) and The Sutra of the
White Lotus of the Hallowed Dharma Skt: Saddharmapundarika-nama Mahayana
Sutra; The Lotus Sutra) discuss pnly six.
