Thanks very much for the references plwk.

I've found a reference in Ringu Tulku's 'Path to Buddhahood ' - the commentary to Gampopa's Jewel Ornament of Liberation.

It says that in the 5 levels of the Bodhisattva path, (the 10 bhumis correspond to the 4th level of cultivation/meditation) that ....

"the third phase - insight (Path of Seeing) corresponds to the first bhumi of the Bodhisatta levels as as well as to the level of the "stream enterer" in the Theravada tradition.

So my guess that it was similar to the 'Two Accumulations' was wrong as that is the stage below the first Bodhisattva level.

OK, so 'Stream Enterer' is equivalent to 'First Bodhisattva Level'
