An 11th-century text by Atiśa titled for a “lamp” and this concept divides people into “lesser,” “middling,” and “superior” classifications based on the degree to which they reject mundane pleasures. In Zen, a herdsman’s search for, and retrieval of, an ox over the course of ten pictures allegorizes the search for this concept. The Samye monastery hosted a two-year-long debate questioning if this concept came about spontaneously or if it required activity. Theravada Buddhists believe in four stages to achieving this concept, which begins with the “stream-enterer” and ends with the “arahant.” Right samadhi, right conduct, and right resolve are among the noble eightfold paths needed to achieve this state. For 10 points, what practice of escaping the suffering cycle of rebirth was achieved under the bodhi tree by the Buddha? ■END■
