Re: Does all karmic debt need to be paid for a person to reach nirvana?
In the time before the Buddha's enlightenment, perhaps lifetimes, did the man Shakyamuni have karmic debt? If you say yes which seems reasonable to me then how did Buddha overcome that debt? I don't know the answer, but did the Buddha have a different potential than everyone else to become a Buddha? Or can anyone do what Buddha has done? Did the man Shakyamuni have a smaller debt or a greater power to overcome? Or do we have the same potential?

Perhaps..
The degree to which any karmic dept is addressed is the same degree to which Nirvana's graces are manifested.
and/or....
If a person is just a temporary cab ride of Karmic inertia, what is that person that reaches Nirvana when that karmic inertia becomes inert?

Super-safe hiding place. So safe even you forget where you've put something.
I've done it too.
