Shantideva's masterful Bodhicaryāvatāra sparkles with insights for personal growth and for a stronger social contract. Professor Jay Garfield interprets Shantideva's work to build a guide to Buddhist ethics and to suggest ways to conquer our own psychopathologies. Buddhist ethics doesn't begin with action but how we see others and the world. Bodhisattvas cultivate an attitude of universal care. As engaged Buddhists, we need this clarity of ethical perspective to help us confront social problems and the ethical implications of new technology. Professor Garfield draws from his recent book How to Be Caring: An Ancient Guide to a Compassionate Life, and from his earlier work, Buddhist Ethics: A Philosophical Exploration.

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.
