A story about what a Bodhisattvw is about.
Pollock (2005): p.43) provides a teaching story that evocatively describes the "nature of a Bodhisattva" and mentions 'circumambulation' (Tibetan: skor ba):
The
nature of the Bodhisattva is apparent from a teaching story in which
three people are walking through a desert. Parched and thirsty, they
spy a high wall ahead. They approach and circumnavigate it, but it has
no entrance or doorway.
One climbs upon the shoulders of the
others, looks inside, yells “Eureka” and jumps inside. The second then
climbs up and repeats the actions of the first.
The third
laboriously climbs the wall without assistance and sees a lush garden
inside the wall. It has cooling water, trees, fruit, etc. But, instead
of jumping into the garden, the third person jumps back out into the
desert and seeks out desert wanderers to tell them about the garden and
how to find it.
The third person is the Bodhisattva.
