Description
Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life is a work composed in the eighth century by the Buddhist monk Shantideva. From the time it appeared until today, it has occupied an irreplaceable place in all Mahayana Buddhist schools, while in Tibet itself it enjoys a reputation comparable to the importance of the New Testament for all Christians. As its name suggests, Shantideva explained in it, in an inspired and concise manner, how a bodhisattva should behave and act, placing special emphasis on the development of bodhicitta – the mind of wisdom and compassion. It was precisely based on this text that numerous systems for developing the 'awakened mind' appeared throughout history, which are taught, studied, and practiced to this day.
The first version of the translation of this text into Croatian was made back in 2002, on the occasion of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's visit to Croatia, who then joyfully received it as a gift. That first Croatian version was based on Stephen Batchelor's English translation from Tibetan, published by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives from Dharamsala.
However, over the years it became clear that the existing Croatian translation needed to be thoroughly refreshed with numerous corrections and new interpretations: this is a text that contains so many different levels of interpretation that even the Tibetans themselves have been adapting it to their own language for centuries. If we limit ourselves to just the most significant European languages, today there are at least six English translations of this text, five French and four German, as well as a significant number of translations of its commentaries.
Batchelor based his translation on the commentary of the fourteenth-century Tibetan teacher Thogme Zangpo, Ocean of Good Explanations. Seeking to make reading easier and provide context for the most demanding ninth chapter, he presented it in the form of an extended prose dialogue, although the original text was written, like the rest of the work, in concise verse form. Wishing to convey to readers something of the pithy style of Shantideva's expression and provide the possibility of additional understanding of the complexity of the ninth chapter, we have included in the Croatian translation verses from two additional English translations: that of Vesna and Alan Wallace and that of the Padmakara translation group. The Wallaces' translation relies on both the Sanskrit and Tibetan originals, while Padmakara's represents an extremely meticulous reading of the Tibetan original. The reader will therefore be able to compare three versions of translations of the same verses, thus obtaining three different keys to understanding them.
