Supratiṣṭhitacāritra (Sanskrit: सुप्रतिष्ठितचारित्र; also known as Firm Practice), is one of the four great perfected bodhisattvas mentioned in the 15th chapter of the Lotus Sutra.[1][2] He is believed to represent the "bliss" characteristic of Buddhahood, which is the liberation from suffering.[2]
