A multimedia resource hub for scripture, scholarship, and teachings on Śāntideva's life and texts, the Śikṣāsamuccaya and the Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra.

This resource website is currently in development and will be similar to the Buddha-Nature resource Tsadra Foundation created in the past.

The purpose of this website is to provide a resource hub for trustworthy information for learning about and teaching Shantideva's texts and related Buddhist ideas. Unique content will be shared here and the site will act as a broker for other projects and authors that have already created quality materials, which we will curate for a wide range of audiences.
