Product Description
Shantideva (Author)
ISBN : 81-85102-59-7
Publisher : Library of Tibetan Works & Archives
Shantideva's Bodhisattvacharyavatara (A Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of LIfe) holds a unique place in Mahayana Buddhism akin to that of the Dhammapada in Hinayana Buddhism and the Bhagavadgita in Hinduism. In combining those rare qualities of scholastic precision, spiritual depth and poetical beauty, its appeal extends to a wide audience of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Composed in India in the 8th century of the Christian era, it has since been an inspiration to millions of people throughout the world.
The translation by Stephen Batchelor is based upon a 12th commentary Tibetan commentary as orally explained by Ven. Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey. The ninth chapter on wisdom has been expanded for this edition with relevant commentarial passages
