| − | Different groups of four [[Bodhisattvas]] who are referred to in various [[Buddhist scriptures]]. In the [[Lotus Sutra]], they are the four leaders of the [[Bodhisattvas]] of the [[Earth]] described in the "[[Emerging]] from the [[Earth]]" (fifteenth) chapter: Superior Practices, [[Boundless]] Practices, [[Pure]] Practices, and Firmly Established Practices. According to Tao-hsien's Supplement to "The Words and Phrases of the [[Lotus Sutra]]," they signify respectively the [[four virtues]] of [[The Buddha]]'s [[Life]]: [[true self]], eternity, [[purity]], and [[Happiness]]. The four [[Bodhisattvas]] described in the [[Flower Garland]] [[Sutra]] are [[Dharma]] [[Wisdom]], [[Forest of Merits]], [[Diamond Banner]], and [[Diamond Storehouse]]. Other sets of four [[Bodhisattvas]] to which this term applies are [[Manjushri]], [[Universal Worthy]], Perceiver of the [[World]]'s {{Wiki|Sounds}}, and [[Maitreya]]; and [[Manjushri]], [[Universal Worthy]], [[Medicine King]], and Perceiver of the [[World]]'s {{Wiki|Sounds}}.
