Last week GM stressed Boddhicitta & those Arahat who cultivate & went into Nirvana, were chased back by Buddha to the sentient world to cultivate Boddhicitta as their's not true Nirvana.
Without BODDHICITTA - FALSE NIRVANA
Vana / +Nir / Nature of nirvana
The path of rebirth/ Leaving off / Being away from the path of rebirth permanently avoiding all paths of transmigration.
Forest / Without /To be in a state which has got rid of, for ever, of the dense forest of the three fires of lust, malice and delusion
Weaving /Being free /Freedom from the knot of the vexations of karmas and in which the texture of both birth and death is not to be woven
Stench or stink /Without /Being without and free from all stench of karmas
The Buddha described nirvāna as the perfect peace of the state of mind that is free from craving, anger, and other afflicting states (kilesas). It is also the "end of the world;" there is no identity left and no boundaries for the mind.
The subject is at peace with the world, has compassion for all, and gives up obsessions and fixations. This peace is achieved when the existing volitional formations are pacified and the conditions for the production of new ones are eradicated. In nirvāṇa, the root causes of craving and aversion have been extinguished, so that one is no longer subject to human suffering (Pali: dukkha) or further rebirth in samsāra.
16-4-2011 - BODDHICITTA is again mentioned.
It is a vital requisite for True Nirvana.
If you need help, perhaps re-reading the different types of Boddhicitta in this blogspot might offer you some hints.
