Rago Choktrul Thubten Shedrup Gyatso (1879–1972) was a prominent Tibetan Buddhist master of the Palyul tradition whose extensive four-volume collected works demonstrate his mastery of multiple Buddhist traditions and genres of religious literature. Among his notable contributions to Bodhicaryāvatāra studies are Vines of Amṛta: A Prayer to the Lineage of the Bodhicaryāvatāra, which elaborates on Patrul Rinpoche's shorter lineage prayer, and Drops of Nectar (Bdud rtsi'i thigs pa), a practical meditation guide focused on the dedication chapter.
Drops of Nectar transforms Śāntideva's dedication verses into living practice by combining dedication (bsngo ba) with breath meditation (dbugs sbyor) and tonglen techniques. The text provides flexible instruction for practitioners of different capacities, from brief three-to-seven-breath sessions to extended practice periods, emphasizing the visualization of light rays to take in others' suffering and send out happiness and merit. Drawing on inspiring examples from masters like Tokme Zangpo and Karma Chakme, Rago Choktrul's approach makes the profound philosophical understanding of dedication accessible through practical meditation techniques that can transform ordinary breath awareness into bodhisattva practice.
1 Classical commentary of
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.
