“The bodhisattva is someone who vows to alleviate suffering and bring blessings in every circumstance. A bodhisattva chooses to live with dignity and courage and radiates compassion for all, no matter where they find themselves,” states Jack Kornfield, a contemporary Buddhist teacher and author. In support of this perspective, Buddhist teachers will often begin public talks by saying 'Bodhisattvas' rather than 'Ladies and Gentlemen'.
Traditionally, Buddhism has taught that a bodhisattva is an enlightened being who vows to continue being in the re-birth process in order to help others attain liberation. This is often viewed a desirable objective.
