What is the meaning of a bodhisattva, and what is the meaning of a bodhisattva?

A bodhisattva is a bodhisattva, which translates to enlightenment, that is, he has already attained enlightenment, and now he helps other sentient beings to become enlightened.

Therefore, the bodhisattva has already been born and born, and he has been freed from his troubles, and he can not enter reincarnation. But because we want to help sentient beings become enlightened, bodhisattvas come to our world in various incarnations to help us. Some incarnations are reincarnated into the womb of our mothers like us, and we think he is a mortal, but in fact he is an incarnation of a bodhisattva.

A bodhisattva permanently reincarnates in order to save sentient beings, but because he has realized that he will not be tainted by afflictions.

He is a stage of cultivation, and he is also a teacher who makes a wish to enlighten sentient beings, speaks the Dharma, lectures on the scriptures, looks at all kinds of supernatural powers, establishes a dojo and leads sentient beings to learn, his practice has eggs and oranges, and at the beginning it is necessary to reach the level of arhats, and then after the great issuance of the court, it is necessary to carry out the active practice of unity, develop bodhichitta, the four immeasurable minds, hope for bodhisattva behavior, and so on, depending on your own ability and experience, to decide what you do, is it completely able to establish sentient beings? If it is, then in the process of practicing and helping others to practice, you also have to go through many repeated experiences and honing, so that you can improve your ideological realm and the merits of your efforts, etc., and finally determine your level by looking at Hui comprehensively, after there are high and low, there are ten levels of Bodhisattvas from the beginning to the ten places, and then there are also Bodhisattvas who can become Buddhas after enlightenment, so this road is a very long process.

The old master --- so the Bodhisattva translates the Great Dao Heart to achieve sentient beings.
