'''Luis Gomez says:''' As in other bodies of literature, a few Buddhist works have gained special favor among modern scholars and readers. Some have achieved the exalted status of membership in the modem canon of Buddhist texts. Śāntideva's Bodhicaryāvatāra can claim to be among these select few.[2] Without question it is the most translated among Indian Buddhist works of the śāstra genre. Although it is difficult to keep up to date with, or keep an accurate census of, the many modern language renderings of classical Buddhist texts that appear in contemporary libraries and bookstores, I would venture to say that the Bodhicaryāvatāra most likely now occupies the third position among the most frequently translated Indian Buddhist texts, after the Dhammapada and the "Heart Sutra."[3] ([[Articles/The_Way_of_the_Translators:_Three_Recent_Translations_of_Śāntideva%27s_Bodhicaryāvatāra|The Way of the Translators (1999)]]) | |||
