Boddhisattvas are beings who withhold their own enlightenment in order to help all sentient beings to transcend suffering. Inspite of it being a tough endeavour, the Boddisattvas unlimited compassion and wisdom voluntarily compels them to respond to the pain of others and saving them from the consequences of their negative Karma is one of their main goals in life.
 
Meaning and Origin
Samantabhadra is one of the eight great Boddhisattvas and his name means Universal Virtue or Universally Extending Virtue or Universal Worthy which implies that he extends his compassion to all sentient beings to perfect their virtues. Samantabhadra emphasizes on the aspect of practice and asks the Buddha to teach the stages of practice which all beings can begin with. The relationship of practice and understanding is similar to oil and flame and to assimilate the Buddhist teachings, both understanding and practice of the teachings is essential. He is also called the Boddhisattva of Great Practice.
