How long does it take to practice to become a Buddha or Bodhisattva?
According to Mahayana Buddhism, if a person wanted to become a Buddha, he must first experience the Bodhisattva Path. When practicing the Bodhisattva Way, if the heart of compassion appears and wishes to save all sentient beings, you will have the opportunity to meet the Buddha and receive the teachings of the Buddha. After that, you will have to go through the six salvation of ten thousand lines, which requires you to go through the "Three Great Asamangha Tribulations" for a long time, but this is just a saying. Moreover, among the ten disciples of Shakyamuni Buddha, there were a few who had not reached the Bodhisattva Fruit Level. For example, Ananda, who was known as the first in the world, did not reach the Luo Han Guo Level when the Buddha was undergoing Nirvana. Therefore, there was no fixed time standard for the cultivation of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It was affected by many factors. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"

How long does it take to become a Buddha or Bodhisattva?
The amount of time required to become a Buddha or Bodhisattva varied greatly due to many factors. Shakyamuni Buddha became a monk at the age of 29 and became a Buddha at the age of 35. It took him about six years. The Journey to the West implied that cultivation required 14 years. It took Wang Chongyang at least eight years to successfully cultivate. In theory, Mahayana Buddhism believed that one had to experience the Bodhisattva Way and the six degrees and ten thousand lines. This required the experience of the Three Great Asamanghis Kalpa, but this was an extremely long concept of time. Moreover, different practitioners had different environments and different levels of comprehension, so the time they took to become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas was also different. For example, Guan Yin Bodhisattva had become a Buddha in the past Amitabha Tribulation, but now she was in the Bodhisattva position. Bodhisattva was the preparatory stage for becoming a Buddha, and she was in the advanced stage of cultivation. Usually, when she reached the Bodhisattva realm, she basically would not have a change of heart. In short, there was no fixed time limit for everyone to become a Buddha or Bodhisattva.

The weak must become strong, Buddha and Bodhisattva will help
In Buddhism, the blessings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could eliminate suffering and avoid disasters, but this was only a temporary way to block the sins of karma and push it to the future, not to eliminate karma. There was no indication that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas would directly help him become stronger. For a thin person to become strong, he needed to start from his own reality. For example, he needed to see a doctor first to check if there was any disease, eat more beef, pork, chicken, fish, etc. in his diet, take appropriate Chinese medicine supplements under the guidance of a doctor, stick to physical exercise regularly, eat more flour food appropriately, and pay attention to rest and maintain energy.

Is God Bodhisattva or Buddha?
In the context of Buddhism, Bodhisattva and Buddha belonged to the category of gods, but the concept of gods was broader and not limited to Bodhisattva and Buddha in Buddhism. Bodhisattva was the name for those who practiced Mahayana thought. They practiced the Bodhi Way of Buddha and vowed to save the common people from the pain of reincarnation. There were three types of Bodhisattvas: Bodhisattva of the Land of Fruit (who had attained the fruit of Buddha but turned into a Bodhisattva for the purpose of extraditing sentient beings), Bodhisattva of the Land of Karma (who had attained the fruit of Bodhisattva through successful cultivation), and Bodhisattva of the Land of Vow (who had made a vow to walk the path of Bodhisattva). There were four famous Bodhisattvas in China. They had their temples at Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. There were also the eight Bodhisattvas who were very important in Buddhism, including Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Buddhas, on the other hand, were those who had reached enlightenment and Nirvana. In other religions and folk beliefs, there were many different types of gods, which were different from the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism. "Shen Mingri" is equally exciting.

Is Bodhisattva an immortal or a Buddha?
Bodhisattvas were neither immortals nor Buddhas, but they were closely related to Buddhas and had a special meaning in Buddhist concepts. In Buddhism, Bodhisattva was the short form of Bodhisattva, which meant to feel sentience. Bodhisattvas were practitioners who had to go through the process of becoming Buddhas. They had been enlightened and could perceive the pain of all living beings, sympathize with the pain, and save all living beings from pain. However, they had not yet reached the realm of Buddha because they still had love and temperament. They would become Buddhas only when they transformed their feelings into wisdom. Bodhisattvas had fifty-two levels in the process of cultivation. For example, the commonly seen Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mostly belonged to the level of Enlightenment Bodhisattva, which was a great Bodhisattva who was about to become a Buddha. Immortals were existences in Taoism and other religious concepts, which were fundamentally different from the concept of Bodhisattva in Buddhism. " Shen Mingri " is equally exciting.

The difference between Bodhisattva and Buddha
The difference between Bodhisattvas and Buddhas lay in their level of enlightenment, role orientation, goals and process of cultivation, as well as their status and image in Buddhism. Buddhas are sentient beings who have fully awakened and achieved supreme wisdom, compassion, and liberation. Bodhisattvas, though they have reached the state of self-awareness, have not yet reached the state of complete enlightenment. They choose to delay their own liberation to help others. In terms of character positioning, Buddha was the final realm that Bodhisattva had to reach. Only after Bodhisattva cultivated and attained the Dao could he become a Buddha. Bodhisattva was a necessary identity for all living beings to become Buddhas. If all living beings wanted to become Buddhas, they must first have a great heart. In terms of status and image in Buddhism, Buddha was a completely awakened existence that transcended the cycle of life and death and guided all living beings with wisdom and compassion. Bodhisattvas, on the other hand, were beings with great wisdom and compassion. They chose to continue reincarnating and help all living beings get rid of their suffering.
Can Bodhisattva be called Buddha?
