Bodhi is the name for the Buddha Path. Sattva is called in the Qin language "sentient being of great resolve". One who enters the Buddha Path with great resolve is called a bodhisattva. There is no accurate translation for the term.'" Master Dao'an says: "Enlightened leader (kaishi), foremost leader (shishi)." Jingxi explains: "Because their minds are first opened, and because they first arouse the resolve." The Jingming shu says: "Old versions translated it as 'lofty leader' (gaoshi)." Since the divergent translations are not settled, the Sanskrit sound must be retained. However, the translations of various masters differ. Now, relying on the Dazhidu lun to explain it: bodhi means the Buddha Path, and sattva means to bring sentient beings to completion. Tiantai explains: "Using the Buddha Path to bring sentient beings to completion, they are therefore called bodhisattvas. Furthermore, bodhi is one's own practice, and sattva is transforming others. This is because one cultivates the Buddha Path oneself and also transforms others." Xianshou says: "Bodhi is here called enlightenment; sattva is here called sentient beings. With wisdom one seeks bodhi above; with compassion one rescues sentient beings below." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.69) - [Next: 1.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.71) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.1.70) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.70) · Pramāṇa
