ARHAT vs BODHISATTVA | Buddhism's GREATEST Debate
#Buddhism #Arhat #Bodhisattva
⚡ FOR 2000 YEARS, BUDDHISM HAS BEEN FIGHTING ITSELF... AND NOBODY HAS WON YET
Is personal enlightenment selfish? Buddhism's two greatest paths, the Arhat and the Bodhisattva, have been locked in the most consequential debate in Buddhist history since the first century CE. What began as a philosophical disagreement between Theravāda and Mahāyāna Buddhism became something far more dangerous: a 2000-year argument about what liberation actually means, who it's for, and whether saving yourself first is an act of wisdom or an act of cowardice.
