This commentary incorporates Gyaltsap Dharma Rinchen's explanations of the 9th chapter in his Spyod 'jug dar tik and his concise and extensive note-commentaries.

2 Partial translation 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.
Khenpo Kunpal (1862-1943), student of Patrul Rinpoche and Mipham the Great, wrote this famous extensive word and meaning commentary (tshig don gyi 'grel pa) with a topical outline (sa bcad) to Śāntideva's Chonjuk (Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra).
