The origin of the name of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva

Pu Xian, the Sanskrit name is "Tai Shi Ba Tuo". According to "Chinese Sorrow Sutra", Amitabha Buddha was the wheel king and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was the eighth son, who vowed to practice Bodhisattva in front of the treasure Buddha to save all beings in a land as unclean as the world of Bodhisattva. More importantly, we should cultivate a solemn and impure world and make it solemn and clean, just like "Qing Xiang's bright and impure world".

At the same time, we should also educate countless bodhisattvas, so that their hearts can be pure and they can all be interested in Mahayana Buddhism, so that this kind of bodhisattva with a big heart can fill their own land and world. Treasure Buddha means that he changed the name of Mintu to Pu Xian, and awarded him the title of "Knowing Water and Being Virtuous in the World" in the future, which achieved great enlightenment. The Buddha's name is "Zhi Gang roars at home, and Rainbow comes".

The name of Pu Xian originated from three Buddhist scriptures of mandala, and later became a universal belief. According to "Hokkekyo ● Pu Xian's Hair Conditioner", Bodhisattva Samantabhadra rode a six-toothed white elephant to guard the followers of Fahua. Pu Xian's thesis, based on the 200 titles of Emperor Taizong, achieved the purpose of understanding Pu Xian according to etiquette and recitation.

"Hua Yan Jing ● Pu Xian's Wishes (Volume 40)" says that Bodhisattva Samantabhadra has ten major wishes, namely: to respect Buddha, praise Tathagata, extensively practice and support, repent of karma, follow merits and virtues, invite Buddha to live in the world, always follow Buddhism, obey all beings and return to everything. These ten vows are written in the scriptures, which shows that their merits are boundless. At the end of their lives, they may live in the paradise of Amitabha under the guidance of the king.

But these ten wishes are the symbol of all bodhisattvas' wishes, so they are also called Pu Xian Wish the Sea. Based on this bodhisattva's broad wishes, it is generally called Mahayana Bodhisattva.
