Contents
The way of the Bodhisattva -- Life of Künzang Sönam -- Wisdom: the ninth chapter -- The translation: a lamp completely illuminating the profound reality of interdependence: a progressive overview of the wisdom chapter of the "Way of the Bodhisattva" (Bodhicaryavatara) by Künzang Sönam.
Summary
"The Bodhicaryavatara, composed by the monk and scholar Santideva in eighth-century India, is a Buddhist treatise in verse that beautifully and succinctly lays out the theory and practice of the Mahayana path of a bodhisattva. The ninth chapter of the Bodhicaryavatara is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can only be read well with a good commentary. This volume makes Kunzang Sonam's extensive commentary on the ninth chapter accessible to English-speaking teachers and students of the Bodhicaryavatara for the first time"--
