A bodhisattva (pronounced "bo-dee-sat-va") is a compassionate person, someone who CARES a lot about helping other beings - someone who vows to become a Buddha.
菩萨是一个慈悲的人，一个非常愿意帮助他人的人——一个发誓成为佛的人。

Ksitigarbha, Bodhisattva of the hell, vows to save their inmates before he becomes a Buddha.
地藏王菩萨地狱不空，誓不成佛，是热恼炼狱里的义工。

We also hope Earth Treasury Bodhisattva, with the great strength of his vows, will enable living beings to leave suffering and attain bliss, and eradicate all calamity and peril.
