By Pema Chödrön. Beloved author Pema Chödrön's commentary on Shantideva's classic Buddhist text The Way of the Bodhisattva is a guide to becoming a bodhisattva, one who vows to live their life for the benefit of all beings. Drawing on her extensive study of the text as well as examples from daily life, Chödrön explores Shantideva's verses in a fresh and accessible manner. The book is full of practical advice, and like Chödrön herself, it is wise, humble, and always encouraging. 408 pp., pb.
