That is extremely rare. Look at the small number of individuals interested in practicing the Dharma. Look at how many countries there are in the world, and at those where the Dharma is a living tradition. Even in one such country, how many beings are inspired to practice, and among them how many will actually bring their practice to fruition? Most beings fritter their lives away in meaningless, selfish, trivial activities.

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
