Book Summary
The Bodhicaryavatara is one of the best-loved Mahayana Buddhist texts. It tells of a noble ideal: a compassionate life lived for the well-being of the world. Through his uplifting verses the eighth-century monk and poet Shantideva outlines the training undertaken by one wishing to follow this vision, a path of selflessness which is much needed today. This is the first hardback edition of the well-respected translation by Kate Crosby and Andrew Skilton.
