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.བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའི་སྤྱོད་པ་ལ་འཇུག་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་བསྟན་བཅོས་འདི་ནི་དཔལ་ན་ལེནྡྲའི་པཎྜི་ཏ་ཆེན་པོ་རྒྱལ་སྲས་ཞི་བ་ལྷས་ (དུས་རབས་ ༨ ་པ་) མཛད་པ་ཡིན་ཅིང་། གཞུང་འདིར་ཐོག་མར་བྱང་ཆུབ་ཀྱི་སེམས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་མ་སྐྱེས་པ་སྐྱེ་བར་བྱེད་པའི་ལེའུ་གསུམ། བར་དུ་སྐྱེས་པ་མི་ཉམས་པར་བྱེད་པའི་ལེའུ་གསུམ། མཐར་མི་ཉམས་པར་གོང་ནས་གོང་དུ་འཕེལ་བྱེད་པའི་ལེའུ་གསུམ་དང་། རྗེས་བསྔོ་བའི་ལེའུ་གཅིག་བཅས་བསྡོམས་ལེའུ་བཅུའི་བདག་ཉིད་ཅན། ལམ་ཕར་ཕྱིན་དྲུག་ལ་བསླབ་པའི་ཉམས་ཁྲིད་ཀྱི་ཚུལ་དུ་གསུངས་ཡོད། འདི་ལ་རྒྱ་བོད་མཁས་པས་མཛད་པའི་ཚིག་འགྲེལ་དང་དོན་འགྲེལ། མཆན་འགྲེལ་དང་དཀའ་འགྲེལ། དོགས་གཅོད་དང་གཏམ་རྒྱུད། སྤྱི་དོན་དང་བསྡུས་དོན། སྨོན་ལམ་དང་བརྒྱུད་འདེབས་སོགས་གཞུང་རྒྱས་བསྡུས་བརྒྱ་ལས་བརྒལ་བ་ཡོད་ལ། འཆད་ཉན་སྒོམ་སྒྲུབ་དང་ཁྱབ་སྤེལ་ཕྱོགས་མེད་དུ་བྱུང་ཞིང་། སྐད་ཡིག་མི་འདྲ་བ་ ༢༠ ་ལྷག་པར་འགྱུར་ཡོད་་ཅིང་། གཞུང་འདིར་གསུངས་པའི་བྱང་སེམས་དང་བློ་སྦྱོང་གི་མན་ངག་རྣམས་ལ། ཚིག་དོན་གོ་སླ་ཞིང་ཉམས་ལེན་གྱི་གནད་ལ་བརྡེག་པའི་ཁྱད་ཆོས་དང་ལྡན་པའི་ཚུལ་ཡང་། སེམས་དཔའ་ཆེན་པོ་རྫ་དཔལ་སྤྲུལ་རིན་པོ་ཆེས། གོ་སླ་མན་ངག་གནད་དུ་བརྡེག་པའི་ཆོས།། སྤྱོད་འཇུག་གཞུང་འདྲ་རྒྱ་བོད་གཉིས་ཆར་མེད།། འདི་ལ་མ་བརྟེན་སངས་རྒྱས་ཇི་ལྟར་ཡོད།། ཅེས་བསྔགས་ཤིང་། ཆུ་བརྒྱ་ཟམ་པ་གཅིག་གི་འོག་ཏུ་འཚུད་པ་ལྟ་བུའི་གཞུང་བཟང་ཡིད་བཞིན་གྱི་ནོར་བུ་རིན་པོ་ཆེ་ཞེས་བསྟོད་པའི་མེ་ཏོག་མངོན་པར་གཏོར་བས་ཀྱང་མཚོན་པ་ཡིན་ནོ།།

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Pāramitā - The six or ten types of practices which lead an individual to Buddhahood. The practice of perfections is particularly important in Mahāyāna Buddhism in which the entire path of the Bodhisattva to reach full enlightenment is included in the six or ten perfections. The six perfections are that of giving, of discipline, patience, zeal, meditation, and wisdom. The perfection of skill-in-means, aspirations, power, and pristine wisdom are added to them to make ten perfections. Skt पारमिता  Tib ཕར་ཕྱིན།;ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ།  Ch 波羅蜜
