Buddhist Path to Awakening

in India in the early eighteenth century AD, Santideva'sBodhicaryavatara
became one of the most popular accounts of the Buddhist spiritual
path. Important as a manual of training among Mahayana Buddhists,
especially in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, this text continues
to be used as
the basis for teaching by modern Buddhist teachers.

translation from the original language provides detailed annotations
explaining allusions and technical references. The Introductions
set Santideva's work in context, and for the first time explain
its structure.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
