Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life: A Buddhist Poem for Today

Front Cover
2 Reviews
THARPA PUBN, 2002 - Religion - 239 pages
This famous and universally loved poem for daily living has inspired many generations of Buddhists and non-Buddhists since it was first composed in the 8th century by the famous Indian Buddhist master Shantideva.  

This new translation, made under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, conveys the great lucidity and poetic beauty of the original, while preserving its full impact and spiritual insight.  

Reading these verses slowly, while contemplating their meaning, has a profoundly liberating effect on the mind. The poem invokes special positive states of mind, moves us from suffering and conflict to happiness and peace, and gradually introduces us to the entire Mahayana Buddhist path to enlightenment.

User Review  - alleypb - Goodreads

great insights. but i can't give a book that talks about women as lesser beings and in the same category as alcohol and gambling more than 2 stars. i know it's all about the time in which it was written, but i still can't get behind that. Read full review
