The Bodhisattva (Sanskrit), Bodhisatta (Pali) is on the Bhumi path to becoming a Buddha, depending on the Bodhisattva's path becoming a Buddha takes many, many lifetimes. The Bodhisattva path in Mahayana main text is the Prajnaparamita, which is my favorite sutra! I wrote the ten Bhumis and attainments of the Mahayana Bodhisattva linked at the bottom of this article @shihabiee. My first Buddhist teacher is a Monk from Korea and I took the Bodhisattva vow after six months of study. Sunim could read and write in Pali and Sanskrit. I was taught from the Pali Cannon before I began reading the Prajnaparamita. Sunim said I was suited for Vipassana meditation not Zen meditation the school he was from. That's how I met my first meditation teacher SN Goenka who taught laypeople. He was from Burma and has passed away a few years ago. I was able to meet him and serve at a ten-day retreat back in the late 1990s. Over the years I have done many vipassana retreats with assistant teachers. I started studying Dzogchen with Vajrayana teachers back in 2003 and have learned the Tibetan system a little bit. The teachings from Tibet are vast, I picked Dzogchen and Chod as my main areas of study.
