Bodhisattva

A Bodhisattva (literally enlightened/perfected essence/spirit) is an individual who has attained, or is on the path to attaining, liberated (Moksha), aligned Perfection, with a particular focus on eliminating the suffering, liberating the people, and uplifting the planet.^[1] The term is syncretic with the Vedic / New Age / LP term Avatar.

-The LP adds attainment of [[Bodhisuta]] (बोधिसुता), or the desire to improve life conditions of all beings on the planet.
+==Non Related LP Terms==
-The LP, for lack of a better word, uses the term to indicate anyone who has had one or more [[Connection Experiences]] and who, from these experiences, has attained [[Bodhicitta]], or the desire to emancipate (we would say [[Connect]]) all sentient beings. Note, assigned status as Bodhisattva does not speak to the quality of the Bodhisattva's efforts.
+[[Bodhisattva]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Bodhisattva]]}}
-Bodhisattva's often write [[Connection Manuals]] to facilitate connection.
+==Notes==
-Speaking of [[Connection Manuals]], one may have a strong designer to heal and emancipate humanity, but one may not have the training, discipline, fortitude, persistence, attention to detail, and communication technology necessary for the task. The author of [[The Cloud of Unknowing]] obviously attained Bodhicitta, but their efforts to provide a sensible and lucid manual failed.
