A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, one of the most deeply revered texts of the Buddhist tradition, is also one of the most widely studied. Composed in the eighth century by the Indian Buddhist master Shantideva, this timeless treatise shows how to embody the bodhisattva ideal in our lives, inspiring readers to cultivate the six perfections: generosity, ethics, patience, zeal, meditative concentration and wisdom.
Translated from the Sanskrit and Tibetan by Vesna. A. Wallace and B. Alan Wallace.
