| Publisher Description: The Way of the Bodhisattva comes to life in this "must-have, must-read, must-contemplate" modern commentary on Shantideva's essential treatise (Jamyang Khyentse, author of What Makes You Not a Buddhist) The Bodhicharyavatara, or Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the eighth-century Indian master Shantideva, has occupied an important place in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition throughout its history. It is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment through generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. In this commentary, Kunzang Pelden has compiled the pith instructions of his teacher Patrul Rinpoche, the celebrated author of The Words of My Perfect Teacher. |
