In the 8th *bhūmi* (*Janmanirdeśa*) the Bodhisattva sacrifices everything including the dearest things which are very difficult to part with. From this *bhūmi* onwards the Bodhisattva should be looked upon as the *Samyaksambuddha* as he has mastered the higher meditational practices, acquired full knowledge and delivered wise discourses.
