Bodhisattva is a Buddhist term that refers to a being who is on the path to Buddhahood. Bodhisattvas are enlightened beings who have postponed their own entry into nirvana to help others achieve enlightenment.
The concept of bodhisattvas emerged in the Mahayana tradition of Buddhism, which developed around the 1st century CE. In the Mahayana view, the pursuit of individual salvation (nirvana) is considered a selfish act. Instead, bodhisattvas strive for the salvation of all sentient beings, aspiring to become Buddhas so they can guide others on the path to enlightenment.
Prominent bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism include:
In some schools of Mahayana Buddhism, bodhisattvas are believed to have achieved a higher level of enlightenment than Arhats, who have achieved individual nirvana. Bodhisattvas are often depicted as divine beings with supernatural powers and are revered as objects of devotion.
