Female Bodhisattva
A Female Bodhisattva is an enlightened being in Mahayana Buddhism who has chosen to remain in the cycle of rebirth to help all sentient beings achieve liberation. She embodies qualities like compassion, wisdom, and nurturing, serving as a spiritual role model and protector. Notable examples include Goddess Guanyin (Guan Yin), revered for her mercy and kindness. Female Bodhisattvas symbolize the nurturing aspect of enlightenment and emphasize that compassion and wisdom are universal qualities, transcending gender. They inspire practitioners to cultivate altruism and seek enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
