Descriptionངོ་སྤྲོད།

El Bodhicaryavatara ha inspirado a muchos, comenzando con una gran popularidad en la India y culminando con una apreciación extraordinaria entre estudiosos y practicantes del budismo en Occidente. Fue una de las obras indias más influyentes entre los budistas tibetanos y mongoles, y ganó popularidad rápidamente en todo el mundo desde que se dio a conocer en los primeros estudios europeos de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. En tiempos más recientes se ha convertido en una de las obras más comentadas tanto por los estudiosos del budismo en Occidente, China y Japón, como por los maestros tibetanos que hoy diseminan las tradiciones budistas en el mundo entero. Esta primera traducción directa del sánscrito al castellano del Bodhicaryavatara ha tenido en cuenta los estudios más recientes y las versiones tibetanas y china, y se completa con un valioso y extenso estudio realizado por Luis O. Gómez Rodríguez, profesor emérito de Asian Languages and Cultures, Religious Studies, & Psycology en la University of Michigan y actual profesor investigador en el Centro de Estudios de Asia de El Colegio de México.

Bodhicaryāvatāraབྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ།

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.

Pāramitā - The six or ten types of practices which lead an individual to Buddhahood. The practice of perfections is particularly important in Mahāyāna Buddhism in which the entire path of the Bodhisattva to reach full enlightenment is included in the six or ten perfections. The six perfections are that of giving, of discipline, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom. The perfection of skill-in-means, aspirations, power, and pristine wisdom are added to them to make ten perfections. Skt पारमिता  Tib ཕར་ཕྱིན། and ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ།  Ch 波羅蜜
