Bodhisattva Vow

The Bodhisattva Vow is a commitment in Mahayana Buddhism to attain enlightenment not just for oneself, but for the sake of all beings. A Bodhisattva is someone who seeks to help others achieve liberation from suffering while on their own path to enlightenment. This vow emphasizes compassion, altruism, and the idea of selflessly working towards the greater good. By choosing to postpone personal Nirvana, a Bodhisattva dedicates their efforts to assisting others, embodying the belief that collective awakening leads to a more compassionate world.
