Question asked by P
Dear Pastors,
Is it we can achieve complete buddhahood through the vajrayana methods? Does that means after they achieve that, they can put a whole planet into a seed, without the beings inside it realize? And they can manifest billions of bodies to teach in different galaxies? And they can enter into the past and future as they like?
Dear P,
The path of Vajrayana does have the capability to deliver a practitioner all the way to Enlightenment in one lifetime. The rest of your question appears to be in reference to the descriptions given in the King of Prayers. When a being attained full enlightenment, one gains the power of emanation, in which we are able to emanate out innumerable forms in order to benefit all sentient beings according to their capacity and understanding.
That does not mean we put a whole planet in a seed but our enlightened mind has no boundaries and thus, the whole world becomes like a seed. The enlightened mind would possess the full knowledge of the past, present and future. That’s the clairvoyance of a fully enlightened Buddha.
