Three levels of spiritual capacity - The teachings on the gradual path (lamrim) categorize beings according to three levels of spiritual capacity:
- Those of lesser capacity are inspired by a wish to attain the higher states within samsara as human beings or as gods.
- Beings of middling capacity, the followers of the shravaka and pratyekabuddha paths, seek liberation from samsara for themselves alone.
- Those of greater capacity, the bodhisattvas, are motivated by the wish to lead all beings to perfect buddhahood.
