  • Summary

  • In this episode, Martino talks about the Buddhist keyword “pratyekabuddha," an individual who attains awakening independently: they do not rely on the teachings of a Buddha in their final lifetime before attaining nirvāṇa. Unlike śrāvakas and bodhisattvas, pratyekabuddhas achieve enlightenment through solitary practice and contemplation.

    Discussed in this episode: pratyekabuddha. The pratyekabuddha is a distinct archetype in Buddhist doctrine, embodying the potential for individual enlightenment. Buddhist texts discuss pratyekabuddhas as those who attain nirvāṇa without a teacher. In particular, they attain liberation when the teachings of a Buddha are not available in the world. They do so by simply contemplating pratītyasamutpāda, “dependent origination.”
