Chonjuk

From Bodhicitta
བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ། = Short form for the title of The Way of the Bodhisattva.
"Chonjuk", pronounced "Chönjook" (སྤྱོད་འཇུག་) is a common Tibetan abbreviation of the famous text the Bodhicaryāvatāra, or བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ། (chang chub sempa chöpa la juk pa). It is a combination of the words སྤྱོད་ (chö) and འཇུག་ (juk or jook) from the title. In common dialects of Tibetan language, when there is an open vowel sound and then an a-chung འ, an n or nasalization is added to change the pronunciation from "chö'-jook" to "chönjook". For short, some translators say སྤྱོད་འཇུག་ is "Entering the Conduct". Even though the full title is commonly styled as The Way of the Bodhisattva in English, it is more literally "entering into" (འཇུག་) or "engaging in" the "practice" or "conduct" སྤྱོད་པ་ of a "bodhisattva" བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་.
