bodhisattva. ordinary considered them as only bright-eyed, aborable children

Eighty-Eight Deluded Viewpoints
"There are Eighty-Eight Deluded Views, which are suddenly
eradicated, and Eighty-One Cognitive Delusions (see entry), which
are gradually eliminated.
"There are ten basic deluded views which manifest themselves in
relation to the Four Holy Truths in each of the Three
Worlds-desire, form, and formless. The ten are greed, hatred,
stupidity, arrogance, doubt, the view of (bodily) self, one-sided
views, deviant views, the view of being attached to views, and the
view of grasping (non-beneficial) prohibitive precepts.
"In the world of desire, all ten operate in relationship to the
Truth of Suffering, while seven (all except the view of self,
one-sided views, and the view of grasping prohibitive precepts)
operate in relation to the Truths of Accumulating and Cessation,
and eight (all except the view of self and one-sided views) operate
in relation to the Truth of the Path. In the form and formless
worlds the relationship of the delusions to the Truths follows the
same order with the exception of hatred in relation to all four
Truths, since hatred must be eliminated before one can enter .
Thirty-two deluded views in the world of desire, twenty eight in
the world of form, and twenty-eight in the formless world total
eighty-eight. . . .
"Upon eliminating the Eighty-Eight Deluded Views, one becomes a
first-stage Arhat (Skt. , Stream-winner)." (HS 123 124)
Eighty-One Cognitive Delusions
"There are nine degrees of cognitive delusions, which manifest
themselves on nine separate grounds. The nine degrees are simply
the higher superior, the higher intermediate, and the higher
inferior; the middle superior, the middle intermediate, and the
middle inferior; the lower superior, the lower intermediate, and
the lower inferior. The Nine Grounds are the Five Destinies [=Six
Paths of Rebirth minus ], which comprise the first ground, the Four
Dhyanas, and the Four Formless Samadhis. . . . Upon eliminating the
first six degrees of the first ground, one becomes a second stage
Arhat (Skt. , Once-Returner). Upon eliminating the final three
degrees of the first ground, one becomes a third stage Arhat (Skt.
, Never-Returner). When all the remaining seventy-two are
eliminated, one becomes a fourth stage Arhat (Skt. ). sometimes
only the fourth stage is referred to as Arhatship." (HS 124)
