A Bodhisattva is a person in Buddhism who seeks enlightenment not just for themselves, but for all beings. They are motivated by compassion and a deep desire to help others escape suffering. Instead of entering Nirvana immediately, they choose to remain in the cycle of rebirth to assist others on their spiritual journeys. Bodhisattvas embody qualities like kindness, wisdom, and patience. They often take vows to help others and can be seen as role models for those on the path to enlightenment. Famous Bodhisattvas include Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of compassion, and Manjushri, who represents wisdom.
