|

Although on the DRL page we have Shambhala and Snowlion indicated as publishers, it shows up twice as Shambhala on the Bodhicitta page. I know they merged. But seems like since they are entered separately on the DRL it should follow the same on Bodhicitta.

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 1 | class="nowrap" | [[ |26-01-29: ]] | [[Kyotön Monlam Tsultrim on the Bodhicaryāvatāra: One Text to Practice Them All]]

|

linking - On the DRL Kyoton was not associated as a source author but as an "associated person” - I think that might not be populating correctly. kyoton monlam's author page is not linked to this page

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 2 | class="nowrap" | [[ |25-10-28: ]] | [[Patience Overview]]

|

CATEGORIES AT THE BOTTOM: I like that we have the categories at the bottom. However, can we find a way to auto-create all PEOPLE categories that are red links? Here we see Simon's category page link as a red link. Can we automate that so all People have a template like '"`UNIQ--nowiki-000001C5-QINU`"' added?

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 3 | class="nowrap" | [[ |26-01-08: ]] | [[Taking Hold of Bodhicitta Overview]]

|

Very well done. Easy to navigate and follow. Amazing work. Translations and procedures on point. Definitely, the best and most rigorous source I have seen.

|- | 4 | class="nowrap" | [[ |25-10-22: ]] | [[The Mahāyāna Concept of Bodhicitta in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism]]

Maybe, the clause "The paper further details" should be rephrased into "This article further details"?

The Tibetan Title is བསྒོམ་རིམ་ཐོག་མཐར་བར་གསུམ། i suggest to us this name as it is popular in Tibetan community.

When I click on Translation, I cannot scroll down to see all items.

Ignore earlier message. I could see full list of translation by clicking twice.

|- | 11 | class="nowrap" | [[ |25-10-22: ]] | [[Bibliography]]

|

Bibliography text order? These seem to be called in a specific order on this page, but I can't tell what it is. They are not arranged alphabetically or by year of publication.

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 12 | class="nowrap" | [[ |25-11-10: ]] | [[Bibliography]]

Adhyāśayasañcodanasūtra should be Adhyāśayasaṃcodanasūtra

|- | 13 | class="nowrap" | [[ |25-10-26: ]] | [[Bodhicaryāvatāra]]

|

Within the buttons in the Patrul Rinpoche section, the words "the" and "Bodhicaryāvatāra" run together.

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 14 | class="nowrap" | [[ |26-01-08: ]] | [[Bodhicaryāvatāra]]

|

In the Bodhicaryāvatāra Outline section, I tried 4 times to open the outline (miro mindmap) and it froze when loading the 4 times. Maybe it is due to my slow and unstable internet connection.

| class="nowrap" |

|- | 15 | class="nowrap" | [[ |26-01-10: ]] | [[Bodhicaryāvatāra]]

|

At the top, in the sentence "From here you can read the text in English, Tibetan, French, Spanish, or Sanskrit.", the first three languages link to the BCA in the corresponding language. Spanish does not have such hyperlink (even though as a language it has more speakers than French), nor Sanskrit. I suggest adding the link to Spanish, ideally also to Sanskrit.

During the last months, one of the most useful resources of the website for me was the bilingual presentation of the commentaries of the BCA. However, right now I'm almost unable to easily find the way to access this resource, and when I've managed to access it, it's been by trial and error clicking here and there. I believe this could be easily fixed if, on the first block of text on this page (second paragraph), a hyperlink to the corresponding site could be added: "You can compare commentaries from different traditions on each verse...".

I'd also try to explore ways to make this wonderfully hepful content more visible in this and other pages.

Thank you :)

Greg Seton wrote:

"Yogācārabhūmaubodhisattvabhūmi” needs a space between the two words, to read: "Yogācārabhūmau Bodhisattvabhūmi.” Otherwise it incorrectly implies that the two titles are a single compound title.

Remove the ending -nāma from the title bodhicittavivaraṇanāma because nāma means "the title is…” and would be the equivalent of adding the word title to the title "The Bodhicitta Exposition Title.”

In my safari browser, there is doubled text in the text boxes for many of the titltes on the library reading room page: (a) Bodhipathapradīpa, (b) Anantamukhasādhakadhāraṇī, (c) blo sbyong tshogs bzhad ma (d) bodhisattvagocarapariśuddhi (which appears twice, i.e. dittography (e) Caryāsaṃgrahapradīpa (f) Madhamakāvatāra and possibly many more…I stopped looking at Madhamakāvatāra. You should look for this yourselves and see whether it is a browser optimization issue.

This list of "No results." appears at the top when loading and then when the text actually all loads, it is pushed to the bottom, but still there when you scroll down. This appears both logged in and logged out on several of the bilingual presentations (maybe all):

I wonder if it would be useful to mention how one's life changes when the pilot light of bodhicitta is lit? I always tell my students it is as if you get a new assignment in life, whether it is one of changed perspective, or more frequently, opportunities to be of benefit to a greater number of beings. My petri dish for observing this is my own life but more importantly, what I've seen with the inmates I worked with who awakened their hearts to interconnectedness and love and emerged into lives of service in ways they could never have imagined. I always like what Skilton/Crosby write in their translator's introduction of their translation of the Bodhicaryavatara (pg xxxvi my copy) "As it is, Awakening Mind' risks the possibility of reification by the unwary reader, and so we hope that readers will remember that the arising of the Awakening Mind involves the internal transformation of the individual rather than the evocation of an external entity. This latter is not to be confused with the sense in which Shantideva talks of the Awakening Mind as a force which is active within the universe." This last sentence in the quote I feel is really important to convey, so people can get the sense that we as individuals open into this force that is there for us to open into, and all the trainings and practices we do will move us into that force, that energy. Versus something people can acquire by simply doing practices without the heart hero's constant intention and without doing their own constant hard work with their kleshas. Many dharma students in the west see these practices as commodities, something to be consumed, but I think it is useful to see that awakening of bodhicitta happens in a certain sense by de-consuming. Hope that makes some sense.

"Bodhicitta is the unity of wisdom and compassion, and is the heart of the tradition which promotes wisdom and compassion as a way of life and primary path to freedom and ultimate happiness, known as Mahāyāna." ....or some version of this sentence should be added as a white tile at the top of the discover section

In the opening paragraph I would separate out a short sentence at the beginning of each paragraph followed by text;

[ Buddhism represents a way of life focused on inner transformation through cultivating positive mental states and is sometimes referred to as a science of mind or an art of mind training.]

The Buddha was a pragmatic teacher who taught a way to go beyond suffering and achieve a state of awakening and eternal happiness. As happiness and suffering are essentially states of the mind, the Buddhist path is centered on the inner state of the mind or consciousness. It is aimed at clearly understanding the true nature of mind and seeking, through such insight, a full transformation of the individual both morally and cognitively. Through the use of many techniques and methods, it strives to bring one from a distracted mind to a focused one, from agitated to calm, from malicious to loving, from dull to intelligent, from selfish to selfless, and so forth.

[At the heart of the Buddhist endeavor to understand and transform the mind lie compassion and wisdom], Compassion is understood to be the earnest wish to eliminate the suffering of all beings, and wisdom, the ability to see through the beguilement of our ordinary existence and discern the ultimate nature of all things.

Bodhicitta is the unity of such wisdom and compassion, and the tradition which mainly promotes wisdom and compassion as a way of life and primary path to freedom and ultimate happiness is known as Mahāyāna.

Section: Bodhicitta

Wisdom and Compassion as a Way of Life 2nd line… add the word developing before the word awareness. 2nd last line: After the word simply: If Shantideva is being quoted verbatim here then the sentence should be put in quotes

Section: What Is Bodhicitta?

Last line: It should be "towards” or maybe better way might be "that leads to awakening”

A Study of the Ṡikṣasamuccaya of Āchārya Shāntideva.

There are typos in the title of this text. it should be - it should be Śikṣasamuccaya of Ācārya Śāntideva

Alex-This must be how the author wrote the title and how we found the record, so it should be kept even though it's misspelled.

THIS IS FOR ALL PAGES WITH THE "Bibliography: All works on this theme" section at the bottom: I think it should say: "All works on this theme in this website" or some similar phrase so people don't think it is "ALL WORKS". For instance, we have a whole website on BUDDHA-NATURE.

Both links currently lead to the same page (Explore: Defining Bodhicitta) —

https://bodhicitta.tsadra.org/index.php/Books/The_Resolve_to_Become_a_Buddha

Although the two references show different numbers (82 and 107), they open to the same page. This might be intentional, but I wonder if they are meant to direct to different pages instead.
