胁侍菩萨 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Bodhisattvas in Attendance
On the path towards Buddhahood the Buddha is often
flanked by assistants or Bodhisattvas. Bodhisattvas in
Attendance assist the Buddha to promote the Dharma
and teach sentient beings.
所谓胁侍菩萨，就是当佛说法时，分列在左右起协助作⽤的菩萨，
他们是菩萨中修⾏层次最⾼的菩萨，其修⾏觉悟仅次于佛陀或等同
于佛陀。在没有成佛前，常在佛陀的⾝边，协助佛陀弘扬佛法，教
化众⽣。
(Sri Lanka: 1981)
