	Pratyekabuddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Pratyeka Buddha (Sanskrit pratyekabuddha; Pali pacceka-buddha) is one of three types of enlightened beings according to some schools of Buddhism (the others being the śrāvakas and Samyaksam-Buddhas).
		They are said to achieve enlightenment on their own, without the use of teachers or guides, by contemplating the principle of dependent arising.
		Some schools assert that pratyekabuddhas are not omniscient, while others say that they are the same (in realisation) as Bodhisattva Buddhas, but do not have the will to teach the Dharma.

	Nonconceptual Cognition of Voidness by Shravaka, Pratyekabuddha, and Bodhisattva Aryas According to the Four Tibetan ...
		Although they do not have nonconceptual cognition of the voidness of the true unimputed existence of all phenomena, they have a limited cognition of this voidness with respect to their aggregates, namely that their aggregates are devoid of existing as truly unimputedly existent continuities or rough aggregations.
		Pratyekabuddha aryas have, in addition, half the nonconceptual cognition of the voidness of true unimputed existence of all phenomena, namely only with respect to objects of cognition.
		Pratyekabuddha aryas have, in addition, the nonconceptual cognition of the voidness of phenomena in terms of the Chittamatra assertion concerning forms of physical phenomena.

		Question: The arhat and the pratyekabuddha are also able to reach to the other shore.
		Response: The crossing over to the other shore achieved by the arhat and pratyekabuddha when compared to the crossing over to the other shore of the Buddha constitutes a case of the designation being the same whereas the reality is different.
		It is for these reasons that, although the arhat and the pratyekabuddha reach to the other shore, it is not referred to as paramita.

	Bodhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Those who obtain enlightenment through self-realisation, without the aid of spiritual guides and teachers, are known as pratyekabuddhas.
		Their skill in helping others to obtain enlightenment is inferior to that of the arhats, but one need to accumulate paramis in a much long time to become a pratyekabuddha than an Arhat.
		These are perfect, most developed, most compassionate, most loving, all knowing beings who fully comprehend the dhamma by their own efforts and wisdom and teach it skillfully to others, freeing them from Samsāra.

	pratyekabuddha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The Sanskrit term pratyekabuddha means "independently enlightened one" or "individually enlightened one." In the early Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures, it was rendered cause-awakened one, which implies one enlightened through perceiving causal relation ship.
		The Treatise on the Meaning of the Mahayana, written by Hui-yan (523-592), describes pratyekabuddha as one who perceives the twelve-linked chain of causation or who awakens to the truth by observing natural phenomena such as the scattering of blossoms or the falling of leaves.
		Cause-awakened ones (Skt pratyekabuddha) are those who awaken to the impermanence of all phenomena by perceiving the twelve-linked chain of causation or by observing natural phenomena.

		The three causal vehicles of characteristics are: the shravaka vehicle, pratyekabuddha vehicle and bodhisattva vehicle.
		Pratyekabuddhas, or ‘self-awakened’ are so-called because, having a more profound depth of wisdom than the shravakas, they manifest their own awakening through the power of their own wisdom, without needing to rely on other masters.
		When it comes to their path, and their practice of meditation, the uncommon approach of the pratyekabuddhas is to meditate on how the twelve links of interdependent origination arise in their progressive sequence and how they cease in the reverse order.

		O good man! It is the same with all beings, sravakas, and pratyekabuddhas, who see fixed characteristics in all things, whereas all Bodhisattvas and others think that all things have no fixed states and that all are non-eternal, void, and all-equal and have no birth or death.

		The Pratyeka Buddha, he who achieves Buddhahood for himself, does not do it selfishly, however; does not do it merely in order to gratify self, and he does no harm to others; if he did he could never reach even his solitary Buddhahood.
		The Sanskrit pratyekabuddha (Pali: pacceka-buddha) is translated into Chinese as either yuanjue 縁覺 ('enlightened by contemplation on dependent origination') or dujue 獨覺 ('solitary realizer', 'self-enlightened one', 'individual illuminate').
		The second rendering, dujue (獨覺), refers to the fact that this practitioner attains liberation through his own study and effort, not relying on the sermons of a teacher, and staying by himself absorbed in contemplation.

	Bodhisattva in Buddhism
		But the state of a Sravaka or a Pratyekabuddha is inferior to that of a Bodhisattva.
		The Mahayana unequivocally says that a Buddha, a Pratyekabuddha and a Sravaka (disciple), all three are equal and alike with regard to their purification or liberation from defilements or impurities (Klesavaranavisuddhi).
		These three states of the Sravaka, the Pratyekabuddha and the Buddha are mentioned in the Nidhikanda Sutta of the Khuddakapatha, the first book of the Khuddaka-nikaya, one of the five Collections of the Theravada Tripitaka.

		Likewise a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva's Jewel of Bodhicitta is the ornament on his body that fades away the luster of all spiritual treasures of sravakas or pratyekabuddhas.
		Likewise, a Bodhisattva-mahasattva dwells in the Nice-Root water of Bodhicitta and is fearless of the fire of Liberating Wisdom of sravakas or pratyekabuddhas.
		For example, although a prince has not mastered his way among the attendants, but he already has the manners of a king, and is not equal to his attendants owing to his noble birth.

		Dharma in this sense of the rather complex term means, "law, doctrine, or truth." Anyone can attain what the Buddha attained regardless of age, gender, or caste.
		Indeed, Buddhists believe there have been many solitary buddhas (Pāli pacceka-buddha; Sanskrit: pratyekabuddha) who achieved enlightenment on their own but did not go on to teach others.
		According to one of the stories in the Sutta Nipāta, the Buddha, too, was afraid to teach humans because he despaired of their limited capacity for understanding.
