Series work "Bodhisattva"
Imagine a bodhisattva living in each of us.
This word is said to be "all sentient beings with Buddha-nature" and "every life is said to have the qualities of becoming a Buddha by nature." We were born with a bodhisattva who strives to become a Buddha, and we thought that the Buddha-nature would be awakened by noticing and raising them. The hand sign represented by each bodhisattva is the same as that represented by the Buddha statue, and indicates what the bodhisattva speaks.
