Bodhisattva; 菩薩 (蔣秋 森貝); Tibetan: བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔ (chang chub sempa); Wylie: byang chub sems dpa; Sanskrit: Bodhisattva;
A bodhisattva is a person who is dedicated on the path towards buddhahood. In Mahayana Buddhism, a bodhisattva is someone who has generated bodhicitta, a compassionate mind to attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.
菩薩是指那些發心為了從輪迴中解脫,成就佛果而承諾修行的人。在大乘佛教,證悟者會選擇最高理想而留在世間去幫助及引導眾生朝向覺悟,而不是進入涅盤。
