@stephen0_01: in Mahayana Buddhism, the Bodhisattva ideal teaches that we do not enter final Nirvana until all beings are liberated. This is the core of the Bodhisattva Vow: "Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them all." A Bodhisattva sees that their own awakening is inseparable from the awakening of every other being. They postpone their own final entry into Nirvana out of compassion, choosing to remain in the cycle of rebirth to help all sentient beings reach liberation. This is not a denial of enlightenment but an expression of its deepest nature. True awakening is not a private escape. It is the realization that you and all beings are one. Until the last being is free, the Bodhisattva's work is not done. That is the Mahayana way. Amituofo 🙏 #foryoupage #fyp #buddha #buddhism #viral
