Bodhisattvas?

Are Bodhisattvas important to you or do you think the opposite and consider them irrelevant to your practice? Or somewhere in the middle?

I see them as guiding lights for behaviour in daily life. They can inspire, even when they choose not to be teachers. I also think Bodhisattvas show up in many unexpected places, especially when circumstances are difficult.
I would even say, anyone you see being acclaimed as a Bodhisattva in a religious setting is unlikely to truly be one.
I see them as an ideal to work towards even if practically its out of reach for us.
I think its also important to understand what a bodhisattva is. Its more than a very compassionate person, there is also an element of awakening involved.
