Bodhisattvas are "beings firmly established on the Path to (and of) Enlightenment." The cosmic Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Skt.), Kwan-yin (Guanyin) (Ch.), or Kanzeon (J.) is the personification of the Great Compassion (Mahakaruna) of the Buddha Nature; Acalanatha (Skt.) or Fudo (J.) represents our will to train ourselves in the Precepts.
