Lotus Sutra - Introduction
Bodhisattva Maitreya questions Manjushri to confirm his remembering and visions of a past life where they were familiar with each other as student, Seeker of Fame, and teacher, Wonderfully Bright. The scene of the gods and followers of all the many beings adorning the Buddha are aptly described by Maitreya giving listeners a beautiful vision of an auspicious moment just before the Buddha at that time, Sun Moon Bright, preaches the Lotus Sutra just as the current Buddha is yet again about to preach.

On Becoming a Bodhisattva
A Bodhisattva is “a sentient being with the mind for the truth.” There are two aspects to the term “enlightenment and sentience.” First, it speaks of the commitment and dedication to seek enlightenment, in other words, one’s own efforts in the attainment of ultimate wisdom. Thus, we also describe a bodhisattva as one who seeks the path. Second, the term “enlightenment and sentience” speaks of the devotion to bringing enlightenment to all sentient beings, in other words, efforts for the benefit of all. This is the manifestation of great kindness and compassion, and it explains why we also describe a bodhisattva as one who liberates sentient beings.
