Detailed discussions and research on bodhicitta and Śāntideva's works

Study the Core Texts

This curated selection represents essential texts for understanding the concept of bodhicitta within the Indian and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. The resource serves as both a scholarly repository and pedagogical tool, with planned expansions scheduled for 2026 to include additional critical texts and research materials. This comprehensive resource presents extensive scholarship on Śāntideva's Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra and the Śikṣāsamuccaya, featuring both contemporary research and classical texts in multiple languages. The collection prioritizes the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra as the primary focus, with substantial coverage of the Śikṣāsamuccaya and supplementary materials on related works.

Bodhicaryāvatāra (བྱང་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.

Text

Śikṣāsamuccaya (བསླབ་པ་ཀུན་ལས་བཏུས་པ།)

In Sanskrit, "Compendium of Training," a work by the eighth-century Indian Mahāyāna master Śāntideva. It consists of twenty-seven stanzas on the motivation and practice of the bodhisattva, including bodhicitta, the six perfections (pāramitās), the worship of buddhas and bodhisattvas, the benefits of renunciation, and the peace derived from the knowledge of emptiness (śūnyatā). The topic of each of the stanzas receives elaboration in the form of a prose commentary by the author as well as in illustrative passages, often quite extensive, drawn from a wide variety of Mahāyāna sūtras.

Text

Bodhisattvabhūmi (རྣལ་འབྱོར་སྤྱོད་པའི་ས་ལས་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་ས།)

Ārya Asaṅga's Bodhisattvabhūmi, or The Stages of a Bodhisattva, stands as one of the most comprehensive and systematic expositions of the Mahāyāna Buddhist path from classical India. Formally the fifteenth section of the massive Yogācārabhūmi corpus, this foundational treatise provides an encyclopedic manual detailing the entire spiritual trajectory of a bodhisattva—from the initial arising of the "mind of awakening" (bodhicitta) to the ultimate attainment of perfect buddhahood.

Text

Bodhicittavivaraṇa (བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་ཀྱི་འགྲེལ་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ།)

The Bodhicittavivaraṇa, or "Exposition of the Mind of Enlightenment," consists of 112 stanzas, preceded by a brief section in prose. It is essentially a compendium of Mahāyāna theory and practice, intended for bodhisattvas, both monastic and lay, organized around the theme of bodhicitta, both in its conventional aspect (saṃvṛtibodhicitta) as the aspiration to buddhahood out of compassion for all sentient beings, and in its ultimate aspect (paramārthabodhicitta) as the insight into emptiness (śūnyatā).

Text

Bhāvanākrama (བསྒོམ་པའི་རིམ་པ།)

The Bhāvanākrama, or "Stages of Meditation," is the title of three separate but related works by the late eighth-century Indian master Kamalaśīla. The three texts set forth the process for the potential bodhisattva to cultivate bodhicitta and then develop śamatha (calm abiding) and vipaśyanā (special insight) and progress through the bodhisattva stages (bhūmi) to buddhahood. The three texts are widely cited in later Tibetan Buddhist literature, especially on the process for developing śamatha and vipaśyanā.

Text

Bodhipathapradīpa (བྱང་ཆུབ་ལམ་གྱི་སྒྲོན་མ།)

The Bodhipathapradīpa, or "Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment," is a work composed by the Indian scholar Atiśa Dīpamkaraśrījñāna shortly after he arrived in Tibet in 1042. Tibetan histories often note that Atiśa wrote this text in order to clarify problematic points of Buddhist practice, especially tantra, which were thought to have degenerated and become distorted, and to show that tantra did not render basic Buddhist practice irrelevant. The Bodhipathapradīpa emphasizes a gradual training in the practices of the Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna.

Text

Seven Points of Mind Training (བློ་སྦྱོང་དོན་བདུན་མ།)

The Seven Points of Mind Training (Lojong Döndünma) is an influential Tibetan work in the mind training (blo sbyong) genre. The work was composed by the Kadam scholar Chekawa Yeshe Dorje, based on the tradition of generating bodhicitta known as "mind training" transmitted by the Bengali master Atiśa Dīpaṃkaraśrījñāna. It also follows the system laid out previously by Langri Tangpa in his Eight Verses on Mind Training.

Text

Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva (རྒྱལ་སྲས་ལག་ལེན་སོ་བདུན་མ།)

Thirty-Seven Practices of a Bodhisattva is an important lojong text by Gyalsé Tokmé Zangpo. In thirty-seven verses, it gives instructions on how to follow the bodhisattva path. Kyabjé Trulshik Rinpoche has said that The Eight Verses of Training the Mind represents the short version of lojong, The Thirty-Seven Practices is the medium, and the Bodhicaryāvatāra is the extensive version. Written during a fourteenth-century retreat, the text transforms complex Mahāyāna philosophy into accessible instructions for handling life's challenges.
