 What is a Bodhisattva? A Bodhisattva is one who aspires to Buddhahood and it also refers to the ninth of the Ten Worlds. The ideal of the Bodhisattva is one who practices for oneself and others. Compassion is the greatest characteristic of a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva is said to postpone their own enlightenment in order to save others.
