Wow!  Once again Chermside unselfishly provides us with a great resource.
Thanks for the karma!

"The essential characteristics of the bodhisattva are compassion, selflessness, wisdom, and servitude. The bodhisattva takes a vow: "I must lead all beings to liberation, I will stay here until the end, even for the sake of one living mortal" (Ch'en, 67). The bodhisattva has reached enlightenment but chooses to sacrifice Nirvana for the selfless life of leading others to enlightenment. There are three steps that one must take to become a bodhisattva. First one must, through reflection, produce the thought of becoming enlightened. Then one must express this wish to the buddha and make a vow of aspiration. Finally, the buddha will prophesy one's success. After these three steps the bodhisattva is devoted to the ten perfections (Ch'en, 68)."
