Samantabhadra Bodhisattva　普賢菩薩 Literally meaning ‘one who universally extends his virtues’, Samantabhadra is a bodhisattva representing the teaching, meditation, and practice of the Buddha. In the Garland Sutra, the bodhisattva declares ten vows of which the last two are dedicated to the benefit of all beings by imparting virtues universally. In the Pure Land tradition, however, more emphasis is placed on the bodhisattvas’ compassion for all beings rather than emphasis on the practices themselves. Samantabhadra is particularly significant in the 22nd vow of the Larger Sutra as the bodhisattva of compassion who works to save beings. Tanluan focuses on the importance of this in his discussion of the ‘Other Power’ of Amida Buddha consisting of the three relevant vows (18th, 11th, and 22nd vows). Samantabhadra symbolizes the virtue of compassionate activity that works to save those caught within the world of suffering. The bodhisattva is also usually associated with Śākyamuni, standing to the right of the Buddha with Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, the bodhisattva of wisdom and realization, standing on the left.
