I was born fifteen years after the Perfections started to appear. Perfections have an genetic mutation that cause them to be super human.

We thought they came to save our dying world. They made it better, but not for us but for them. It's been sixteen years now, and my family's dead. I have been trapped in this prison for eleven years.

This study deals mainly with the concept of the Maha Bodhisatta in Theravada Buddhism. It starts with the development of early Buddhism in which chapter is tried to explain what the main differences are between Theravada on the one hand and Mahayana on the other hand. The next chapter is a short explanation of the concept of the Bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. Next follows a discussion of the concept of the Bodhisatta in Theravada, such as types, powers and characteristics of Bodhisattas, the 32 Marks of a Great Man, spheres of existence and the four resolutions of a Bodhisatta. Then there is a chapter referring to the value of the Jatakas. Another chapter deals with the Paramis, the Perfections. A separate chapter is devoted to the future Buddhas. Finally there is a short survey and a comparison of the concepts of Bodhisatta/Bodhisattva in Theravada and Mahayana. [more]
