Feedback Content	I think this should be developed by adding some suggestions to learn more and go deeper so that practitioners and students have a clearer sense of what to read next. This is a very interesting area that could be quite deep, but it is very short here for beginners, which is OK at the start here, but I think it could use some more, at least in the way of referencing further content. We should also have references here to the new book coming from Thupten Jinpa on the Bodhisattva Ideal and other key scholarship and/or practitioner content. Alex-Added several videos on the Bodhisattva Ideal including one in the Theravāda Context and added The Bodhisattva Ideal book by Jinpa.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩
