Details
Description
Composed in India in the eighth century, this work is an outstanding presentation of the Six Perfections, by which one may harmonize one's own life with the Bodhisattva ideal. It became an instant classic in the curricula of the Buddhist monastic universities of India, and its renown has grown ever since. This new translation marks the first time the Sanskrit original and the canonical Tibetan can be compared in a single work. The Bodhicaryavatara, one of the central texts of Tibetan Buddhism, is now available in a modern English translation that manages to be at once accessible to contemporary readers and faithful to both the original Sanskrit and the canonical Tibetan text. With no other candidates in sight, the Wallace and Wallace translation is likely to set the standard for English translations of this seminal Buddhist text.
