The S. in consonance with the Th. regard Buddha as a human being but they attribute to him divine, sometimes superdivine, powers. They look upon the Bodhisattvas as *puthujjanas*, who must destroy the worldly ties like an average adept in order to step into the *samyakatvaniyāma* or *sotāpannahood*
