I will post more about bodhisattva path. In Pali the word is bodhisatta which is what Buddha called himself before he became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree. Since there have been buddhas previous to Gotama it seems logical that there was a bodhisatta path before and after this most recent buddha.

Can you point out the Sutra please where The Buddha called Himself a Boddisattva ?
Thanks.
