The Bodhisattvas

An excerpt from a teaching called Compassion, Love, & Wisdom by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo

The great Bodhisattvas alive on the earth at this time, as well as all the Bodhisattvas that have been and all that are yet to come, are in that number.  They appear in order to be of benefit to beings.  They appear in order to come back and teach a pure vehicle that provides a way to achieve supreme realization.  They live lives that are an inspiration and an example to us. They act as catalysts and bring about causes that institute the result of enlightenment for other beings, and they do it in different ways.  But one of the primary and necessary things that must be accomplished is bringing to the world a pure path that can accomplish supreme enlightenment: the union of the pure natural state of pristine awareness, the realization of the primordial wisdom state, that realization of emptiness, united with pure compassionate intention and the skillful means that is the result of enlightenment.  This perfect union is the union that we must consider our own personal ideal as we practice this path, because the goal must be not only to accomplish enlightenment for our own sake but to have the skill and the miraculous pure intention to display or incarnate in emanation form in order to bring about the enlightenment and salvation of all sentient beings.
