How many bodhisattvas are there in total, and what are their names?

Bodhisattva, also known as Bodhi.

Sata, Sanskrit bodhisattva, means sentient beings, bodhi (sentient beings), sattva (sentient beings). According to the original meaning of Sanskrit, anyone who practices Mahayana Buddhism.

of Buddhists are all Bodhisattva; Buddhism advises people to develop bodhicitta is to develop bodhisattva mind. The late Master Taixu of our country.

Say: Anyone who learns Buddhism with bodhichitta can be called a bodhisattva. Therefore, Bodhisattva was originally a very common term in Buddhism, which was applied to both monks and nuns as well as lay people who studied Buddhism at home.

Buddhism divides the spiritual realm and the Buddha realm of the whole universe into the ten realms, the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, the animal realm, the asura realm, the human realm, and the heavenly realm, which are called the "six maze realms". The realm of sound, the realm of enlightenment, the realm of bodhisattvas, and the realm of Buddha, the above are the four realms of enlightenment. That is to say, the Buddha is the highest, and the Bodhisattva is secondary.

It is said that there are 52 bodhisattvas (monks) who are gradually progressing. From forty-one to fifty, it is called the ten grounds, and the above is the level of enlightenment, the position of wonderful enlightenment, and the last one is the Buddha position.

The idea that Buddhists who practice Buddhism as bodhisattvas gradually changed and deified them, and finally many inhuman, imaginary heavenly bodhisattvas came out. These bodhisattvas in the heavens and the universe, both male and female, are said to be able to give people happiness and joy.

1. The number of bodhisattvas in Buddhism is as large as that of Buddhas. As mentioned in the "Amitabha Sutra", there are Buddhas like the number of sands in the Ganges River (called "ten trillion Buddha lands" in the scriptures), and there are countless Bodhisattvas in each Buddha land, which shows that the number of Bodhisattvas is "not something that can be known by counting".

2. The bodhisattvas believed by the Chinese people can be roughly divided into three categories:

The first category is the 42 sages and saints, which refer to the bodhisattvas who practice the 42 stages of bodhisattva practice from ordinary people to Buddhahood, including the ten dwellings, the ten elements, the ten dedications, the ten grounds, the enlightenment, and the wonderful enlightenment. The thirty places of travel, dwelling, and direction are collectively called the three sages, and the ten places are also called the ten holy positions; Waiting for enlightenment is equivalent to the Buddhahood; Miaojue is the Buddha's position. Mahayana Buddhism believes that practicing bodhisattva behavior, whether at home or as a monk, can be called a bodhisattva as long as he has reached the "position".

The name of a bodhisattva is based on cause and effect.

The second category is the great bodhisattvas whose names are specifically mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures. These bodhisattvas are all bodhisattvas of equal enlightenment, including the "Four Great Bodhisattvas", "Eight Great Bodhisattvas", and "Twelve Enlightened Bodhisattvas", as well as the Vimalaya laymen in the Vimala Sutra, the good wealth and the dragon maiden in the Lotus Sutra, and the five great bodhisattvas in the "Nioh Prajna Sutra: Receiving Offerings" translated by Yao Qinkumaroshi, and so on.

The third category is the offering of bodhisattvas, which are the bodhisattvas who stand on both sides of the Buddha to worship the Buddha, such as the Bodhisattva of Miaoyin, the Bodhisattva of flowers, and the Bodhisattva of incense.
