Bringing up a Bodhisattva: Establishing the Path to Enlightenment

In Buddhism, there is an attainable state called Bodhisattva, where the practitioner reaches a point where they have a sudden and spontaneous desire to attain Buddhahood to benefit all other sentient beings. They are driven by compassion and bodhicitta, the awakened mind. It is the wish to replace others suffering with bliss.
