A GUIDE TO THE BODDHISATTVA’S WAY OF LIFE by Shantideva
About this book – Shantideva’s Bodhisattvacharyavatara (A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life) holds unique place in Mahayana Buddhism akin to that of the Dhammapada in Hinayana Buddhism and the Bhagavadgita in Hinduism. In combining those rare qualities of scholastic precision, spiritual depth and poetical beauty, its appeal extends to a wide audience of Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. Composed in India during the 8th century of the Christian era, it has since been an inspiration to millions of people throughout the world.
