In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
[«previous (P) next»] — Parivara in Mahayana glossarySource: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra
Parivāra (परिवार) refers to the Bodhisattva’s “entourage”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter L.—Accordingly, “the Bodhisattva wishes to acquire ‘a Bodhisattva entourage’ (parivāra). There are Buddhas who are surrounded only by Bodhisattvas; there are Buddhas who are surrounded only by śrāvakas; there are Buddhas who are surrounded by both bodhisattvas and śrāvakas. This is why the Prajñāpāramitāsūtra says here that, in order to acquire an entourage composed exclusively of Bodhisattvas, the Bodhisattva must practice the Prajñāpāramitā”.
There are three kinds of entourage (parivāra): superior, middling and inferior. The inferior one is made up of Śrāvakas alone; the middling one is a mixture [of Śrāvakas and Bodhisattvas]; the superior one consists only of Bodhisattvas.
