Guest guest Posted February 11, 2000 Report Share Posted February 11, 2000 The word " bodhisattva " means one whose essence (sattva) is enlightenment (bodhi). In Mahayana the bodhisattva has attained enlightenment but renounced nirvana, remaining in touch with life rather than relinquishing all connection with it. andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
