Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

In this paper I am not going to present his doctrine of emptiness but another practical and human aspect of Buddha’s doctrine that is "Great Compassion" or Bodhicitta — the "mind of awakening." The doctrine of Bodhicitta is the acme of Mahayana Buddhist doctrine that affects all aspects of human life. Since there is a dearth of writings on this aspect of doctrine and since a majority of scholars have dealt little with this topic, I have attempted to illuminate this aspect of the teachings of Arya Nagarjuna.
