      So, bodhisattvas do not discourage sentient beings from what exactly?

      from becoming bored or weary in their ability to awaken self and others to what really matters

      Bodhisattvas know what matters. This is why Tibet had such advanced medicine, and why they warned us of climate change 1000 years ago. And this is why they abuse their students. That's what really matters.

      Yes, indeed! I have issues with religious dogma posing as enlightened authority, and with alleged "Buddhists" taking that dogma as ultimate truth without an ounce of critical thinking involved. Major issues.

      fine, but i don't see how any of this relates to the discussion

      You made an assertion about the mind/actions of a "bodhisattva" (namely that he/she knows what matters). I challenged that assertion. I think the relation is quite clear. It may be of benefit for you to question dogma, even when it is Buddhist dogma (yes, Buddhist dogma exists).

          in relation to bodhisattva activities, what matters is knowing the mind. this is the essence of dharma.
