Bodhyāpattideśanāvṛttibodhisattvaśikṣākrama/Full text
Bodhyāpattideśanāvṛttibodhisattvaśikṣākrama (Tib. Byang chub kyi ltung ba bshags pa'i 'grel pa byang chub sems dpa'i bslab pa'i rim pa; Toh 4006; rKTs T3346), by Jetāri, is a commentary on the Triskandhakasūtra, the Confession of Bodhisattva Downfalls addressed to the thirty-five buddhas. Writing for those who have generated the mind of awakening, Jetāri presents the confession as the means of purifying a bodhisattva's transgressions and follows the text through its parts: taking refuge, paying homage to the thirty-five buddhas, confessing misdeeds, resolving to restrain from them in the future, and dedicating merit to unsurpassed awakening. He glosses each buddha's name in terms of the qualities it expresses and describes the karmic results of the ten non-virtues and of misusing the property of stūpas and the saṅgha. His explanation of the dedication covers generosity, discipline, and the generation of aspiring and engaged bodhicitta, supported throughout by quotations from the sūtras. It was translated by a Nepalese paṇḍita and Chag Lotsāwa.
