Mahāsthāmaprāpta is a revered bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism whose name is often understood as “Arrival of Great Strength” or “One Who Has Attained Great Power.” The bodhisattva is especially associated with the power of wisdom and mindful Buddha-remembrance. In Pure Land traditions, Mahāsthāmaprāpta appears alongside Amitābha Buddha and Avalokiteśvara as one of the Three Sages of the Western Pure Land. Mahāsthāmaprāpta is also known as Dashizhi Pusa (大勢至菩薩) in Chinese Buddhism and Seishi Bosatsu (勢至菩薩) in Japanese Buddhism. The Sanskrit name is महास्थामप्राप्त बोधिसत्त्व (Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva). 🌸 THE CHANT Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva “Namo” expresses homage or reverence.
