I have heard the idea of the bodhisattva, in the Mahayana context, likened to that of a bus driver whose bus has an infinite number of seats, and who welcomes everyone to get on board. All the riders have problems, many moan or complain or fight or whatever, but this fact does not actually distract the driver of the bus.
It takes a lot of driving lessons and regular practice before one can safely transport a busload of passengers to their destination, however!

Anyway, as Peace and Daisies isn't a beginner, can I humbly suggest that further Mahayana discussion takes place in the Mahayana forum, or if its for everyone else to discuss too, in General Buddhist discussions.

Thanks
