    Notes: Sanskrit equivalent: bodhisattva, Pali: bodhisatta, Japanese: bosatsu; Tibetan: byang chub sems dpa'; literally meaning 'enlightenment being' in Sanskrit and understood to mean a being who has determined to achieve enlightenment. The Chinese term 菩薩 is an abbreviation of 菩提薩埵, which transliterates the Sanskrit term. In Theravāda Buddhism the term bodhisattva is used exclusively to refer to Śākyamuni buddha in his past lifetimes. In Mahāyāna Buddhism the term is used much more widely (BL 'bodhisattva', p. 134; FGDB '菩薩'; Powers 2007, p.521; SH '菩薩', p. 389; Tzu Chuang 2012, p. 31).
