The 3: kin~cana (q.v.).
(lit.: ”I am”-conceit), ”ego-conceit”, may range from the coarsest pride and self-assertion to a subtle feeling of one”s distinctiveness or superiority that persists, as the 8th fetter (samyojana, q.v.), until the attainment of Arahatship or Holiness. It is based upon the comparison of oneself with others, and may, therefore, manifest itself also as a feeling of inferiority or the claim to be equal (s. ma^na). It has to be distinguished from ”ego-belief” (sakka^ya-ditthi, q.v.) which implies a definite belief or view (ditthi) concerning the assumption of a self or soul, and, being the 1st of the fetters, disappears at attainment of Stream-Entry (sota^patti; s. ariya-puggala).
"Even when the five lower fetters have vanished in a noble disciple, there is still in him, with regard to the five groups of clinging, a slight undiscarded measure of the conceit ”I am”, of the will ”I am”, of the proclivity ”I am”" (S . XXII, 89) . - s. ma^na.
”canker of existence”; s. a^sava.
bodhisatta == 菩薩
”Enlightenment Being”, is a being destined to Buddhahood, a future Buddha. According to the traditional belief a Bodhisatta, before reaching his last birth as a Buddha on this earth, is living in the Tusita-heaven (s. deva), the heaven of bliss. Cf. A. IV, 127; VIII, 70.
In the Pa^li Canon and commentaries, the designation ”Bodhisatta” is given only to Prince Siddhattha before his enlightenment and to his former existences. The Buddha himself uses this term when speaking of his life prior to enlightenment (e.g. M. 4, M. 26). Bodhisattahood is neither mentioned nor recommended as an ideal higher than or alternative to Arahatship; nor is there any record in the Pa^li scriptures of a disciple declaring it as his aspiration. - See bodhi.
