What distinguishes the supreme bodhisattva from aspirants in the other two vehicles is the degree to which the pāramis must be cultivated and the length of time they must be pursued. But the qualities themselves are universal requisites for deliverance, which all must fulfill to at least a minimal degree to merit the fruits of the liberating path.\" (P. 7.) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween 1958 and 2002, a total of 334 individual physical Wheel Publication booklets were published by the Buddhist Publication Society (BPS).
