In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a person who has chosen a path towards bodhi or an "awakening" and "enlightenment." Dr. Kuhn calls this the "State of Yo." His yo-yos serve as "precision sensory instruments to sooth, ease, and improve motion and relieve stress." See the wide variety of Tom Kuhn yo-yos that have been released or prototyped since 1977.
