[Dharmajala] Bodhisatva

[TSUKUDU -]

What is a bodhisattva, a dedicated being ?
 
A Bodhisattva is being who spontaneously and continuously has the wish to attain 
enlightenment for benefit of sentient beings. By practicing the path, such a person
will attain the state of Buddhahood.
 
There are different levels bodhisattvas, according to their level of realization. Some are 
not yet free from the cycle of constantly recurring problem, while others are.
 
The latter can then tak birth in the world voluntarily, by the power of compassion,
in order to help others. Buddha can do this as well.
