Universality and Wisdom

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Samanta is “universal, universality.” And bhadra means “wisdom” or “validity”-- more solid and concrete idea. Anyway, his name is Samantabhadra, universality and sagacity. So this bodhisattva is bodhisattva of all the dharma, all the universal teaching. --------------------------------------------------  Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B as found on shunryusuzuki.com.
