maybe, i shouldn't use 'founder'. i know Samantabhadra is
Bodhisattva of bodhisattva and His Great Pure conduct is foremost
indeed.
wat can u tell us abt relation of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and
Samantabhadra Buddha, the Primordial Buddha?
the english name is Ajatasatru. if u watch Buddhist cartoon, got
his story.
At that time, in the great city of Rajagrha, there was a prince
named Ajatasatru. Following the counsel of Devadatta, an evil
friend, he arrested his father, King Bimbisara, and confined him in
a cell surrounded by walls seven layers deep, forbidding any
officials or ministers from going there. The queen, whose name was
Vaidehi, remained loyal to the king. Purifying herself by bathing,
she anointed her body with an ointment of cream and honey mixed
with wheat flour, and filled her ornaments with grape juice. She
then offered them to the king in secret. ---The Sutra of
Visualization of the Buddha of Infinite Life as Expounded by
Shakyamuni Buddha

and in Lotus sutra:
Later Ajatasatru, who was also at first an enemy of the Buddha,
became a disciple and generously contributed to the Sangha. In the
Sutras he was said to have learned the confession and attained the
enduring gentleness from Manjusri. Having committed what is among
the most grave of the premeditated sins, he should have fallen into
the Avici (Interminable) Hell but instead he only entered the
Pindala Hell (a relatively painless purgatory) from which he was
quickly released, later to enter into the Buddha Realm as the
Bodhisattva Steadfast and receive his prophecy of future
enlightenment.
