In Buddhism, especially in the Mahayana current, in addition to being considered as a stage prior to Buddhahood, it is an ideal of realization open to anyone who wants to follow it. The bodhisattva is an ideal that encompasses different dimensions of human existence, such as spiritual, intellectual, moral, psychological, and religious. He is the one who rejects nirvana and therefore the exit from samsara for the benefit of other beings, of those who continue to suffer on the wheel of life and death; And so comes the bodhisattva's vow, in which he sacrifices his own liberation until other beings attain it.
