Bodhisattvas

Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings in Mahayana Buddhism who choose to remain in the cycle of rebirth, not only to attain personal enlightenment but to help others achieve it as well. They embody compassion and selflessness, dedicating their lives to supporting and guiding sentient beings toward liberation from suffering. Unlike traditional Buddhas, who seek their own enlightenment, Bodhisattvas actively engage with the world, demonstrating virtues like kindness and wisdom. Their ultimate aspiration is to reach Buddhahood while assisting others on their spiritual journeys. This commitment reflects a profound altruistic ideal central to Mahayana teachings.
