Bodhisattvas, or 'Enlightenment Beings', are dedicated to one thing: helping ordinary people on the path towards Enlightenment. The bodhisattvas know that they are not alone; they are not apart from the rest of life. This guide introduces a panoply of figures, superheroes, brilliant and beautiful, from the array that exists in Buddhist tradition.

Bodhisattvas are the superheroes of Buddhism, fearlessly carrying the Buddha's teaching to the world.
