+What Do We Mean by Bodhisattva?
+
+  Bodhi means enlightenment, the state devoid of all defects and endowed with
+all good qualities.  Sattva refers to someone who has courage and confidence
+and who strives to attain enlightenment for the sake of all beings.  Those who
+have this spontaneous, sincere wish to attain enlightenment for the ultimate
+benefit of all beings are called bodhisattvas.  Through wisdom, they direct
+their minds to enlightenment, and through their compassion, they have concern
+for beings.  This wish for perfect enlightenment for the sake of others is
+what we call bodhichitta, and it is the starting point on the path.
