BUDDHISM BASICS page 28 The Bodhisattva - A Buddhist SaintJesus was a Bodhisattva. Really? Really. A Bodhisattva is someone who has attained enlightenment. Jesus attained enlightenment. A Bodhisattva is someone who is content with their life and found a fulfilling purpose. Jesus taught contentment and peace of mind and that each person's soul is of equal value. A Bodhisattva is not content to live peacefully with their enlightenment when they can share it with others. Jesus was compelled to share his wisdoms and stories with the world. A Bodhisattva has seen the dark side of humanity yet risen high above normal standards to set an example for others. Jesus communicated with all walks of life and set an example for all of them to follow, from rich to poor.
