Bodhisattvas, or "Enlightenment Beings,"are dedicated to one thing: helping ordinary people on the path towards enlightenment. Witnessing the suffering around them, knowing they are not apart from the rest of life, they can never be satisfied with seeking enlightenment for themselves alone. This book introduces a panoply of brilliant and beautiful figures, superheroes all, from the vast array that exists in the Buddhist tradition. Meet Tara, the rescuer, Manjusri the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Avalokitesvara the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and many more. 160 pp.
