Bodhisattva

A Bodhisattva, in Mahayana Buddhism, is an enlightened being who forgoes final Nirvana to assist all sentient beings in achieving liberation from samsara. The term "Bodhisattva" translates to "enlightenment being" (Sanskrit: बोधिसत्त्व), embodying the ideals of wisdom (prajna) and compassion (karuna). Unlike Buddhas, who transcend the cycle of rebirth, Bodhisattvas vow to remain within samsara until all beings are freed. Iconic Bodhisattvas like Avalokiteshvara (compassion), Manjushri (wisdom), and Kshitigarbha (salvation of the suffering) play significant roles in Buddhist practices and are often depicted in intricate art and statues. These figures serve as inspirational models of selflessness, guiding practitioners on the path of ethical living and spiritual awakening.
