Sadāparibhūta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bodhisattva Sadāparibhūta (Japanese Fukyō or Jōfukyō ; German translation: Never Despising ) appears in the 20th chapter of the Lotus Sutra , which is also named after him.

Characteristic of Sadāparibhūta is the respect he shows all beings and meets them with the following words, according to the Lotus Sutra: “I adore you deeply. I will never laugh at you or despise you. Why? You are all walking the path of the Bodhisattva and you will achieve that you will become Buddha . "
