| | 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). | | | 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. | | | Unlike Supreme Buddhas (see bodhi), their enlightenment is not foretold. |

| | Bodhisattva in Buddhism |
| | 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. | | | This is quite in keeping with the Theravada tradition which, too, holds that one may become a Bodhisattva and attain the state of a fully Enlightened Buddha; but if one cannot, one may attain the state of a Pratyekabuddha or of a Sravaka according to one's capacity. |

| | pratyekabuddha |
| | 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. | | | Pratyekabuddha: The isolated practitioner of Theravada Buddhism who seeks enlightenment outside of a formal monastic setting; by contrast, the Arhat seeks enlightenment within a formal monastic setting. | | | The realm of cause-awakened ones is also viewed as a condition of life, in which one perceives the transience of life in the six paths and strives to free oneself from the six paths by seeking eternal truth through one's own effort. |

When there is a Buddha in the world, sages are called those 'Enlightened to conditions.' When there is no Buddha in the world, they are called 'solitary Enlightened ones' or Pratyekabuddhas, because they are able to become Enlightened by themselves. |
