“Shantideva’s work is required reading for an understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, and the clarity and crispness of this translation make it an accessible way into this world.”—Publishers Weekly
“If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it.”—H. H. the Dalai Lama
“The Way of the Bodhisattva was composed in India over twelve centuries ago, yet it remains remarkably relevant for our times. This classic text gives surprisingly up-to-date instructions for people like you and me to live sanely and openheartedly, even in a very troubled world. It is the essential guidebook for fledgling bodhisattvas, those spiritual warriors who long to alleviate suffering, their own and that of others.”—Pema Chödrön
