    We have a chance to help sentiments beings here, on this chatsite

    If we are not able to do that here, on this chatsite, then we cannot do it in an imagined "next life"

    ignoring the "classic" Bodhisattva vow:

    "I will become a Samyak Buddha ASAP, and then help all sentient beings... in this life and the next"

    a Samyak Buddha comprehends the Dhamma. It is the Dhamma that helps sentient beings

    I will learn & realise the Dhamma and then help sentient beings, in the present & in the future

    lets keep the rare idioms on the minimum, if we are going to not use other languages on "equal footing".

    not really, an irreverent moderator.
