>>>It has been 30 years since I studied Buddhism in college, but I do remember there are many sects. The ones I studied were concerned with nine levels. One form taught that the individual should progress from level one to level nine to attain the Buda. Another one had the Buda come to you from level nine to level one.

think you mean BETWEEN() :)

Only if you are talking of VFP Buddhists.
Other sects, like T-Buda do a "Between [level] One and [level] Nine".
