An "Introduction to Bodhisattva Practice," the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra is a poem about the path of a bodhisattva, in ten chapters, written by the Indian Buddhist Śāntideva (fl. c. 685–763). One of the masterpieces of world literature, it is a core text of Mahāyāna Buddhism and continues to be taught, studied, and commented upon in many languages and by many traditions around the world. The main subject of the text is bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration for enlightenment, and the path and practices of the bodhisattva, the six perfections (pāramitās). The text forms the basis of many contemporary discussions of Buddhist ethics and philosophy.
A clear verse-by-verse commentary (meaning as well as a word, tshig dang don gyi 'grel pa), by the great Sakya scholar Sazang Mati Panchen. The commentary begins with a common method for engaging in the Dharma (dam pa'i chos la 'jug 'tshul thun mong du bstan pa) and includes a concise overview of Buddhist philosophy. The commentary follows a topical outline (sa bcad), and there are also some annotations within the commentary in some places.
