BODHISATTVA MAHASTHAMAPRAPTA
Mah?sth?mapr?pta is a mah?sattva bodhisattva who represents the power of wisdom. Its name literally means "the arrival of the great force". Mah?sth?mapr?pta is one of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas of Mahayana Buddhism, along with Mañju?r?, Samantabhadra, Avalokite?vara, ?k??agarbha, K?itigarbha, Maitreya, and Sarvanivarana-Vishkambhin.
In Chinese Buddhism, he is usually depicted as female, with a similar likeness to Avalokite?vara. He is also one of the Thirteen Buddhas of the Japanese Shingon school of Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, Mah?sth?mapr?pta is equated with Vajrapani, who is one of his incarnations and was known as the protector of Gautama Buddha.
Mah?sth?mapr?pta is one of the oldest bodhisattvas and is considered powerful, especially in the Pure Land school, where he plays an important role in the great Infinite-Life Sutra. In the ae?ra?gama S?tra, Mah?sth?mapr?pta recounts how he gained enlightenment through the practice of nianfo, or the pure and continuous mindfulness of Amit?bha, to obtain sam?dhi.
In the Amitayurdhyana Sutra, Mah?sth?mapr?pta is symbolized by the moon while Avalokite?vara is represented by the sun. In the introductory chapter of the Lotus Sutra, Mah?sth?mapr?pta is present among the 80,000 bodhisattva mah?sattvas who gather on Mount G?dhrak??a to hear the Buddha preach on the wondrous Dharma of the Lotus Flower Sutra.
The Buddha also addresses Mah?sth?mapr?pta in Chapter 20 of the Lotus Sutra to relate the Buddha's past life as Bodhisattva Sad?paribh?ta ("Never despise"), a monk who was abused and abused by monks, nuns, arrogant laity and laity when he paid homage to them saying that they would all become Buddhas. The Buddha explains to Mah?sth?mapr?pta how these arrogant people were punished, but are now bodhisattvas present in the assembly on the path to enlightenment.
The Buddha then praises the great power of the Lotus Sutra thus: “O Mah?sth?mapr?pta, know that this Lotus Sutra will greatly benefit the bodhisattva mah?sattvas and lead them to the highest and complete enlightenment. For this reason, after the parinirv??a of the Tath?gata, the bodhisattva mah?sattvas should always keep, recite, explain and copy this sutra.
