The ''Bodhicaryāpradīpa'' (''Lamp for the Practice of Awakening''), a short verse text by Kamalaśīla translated into Tibetan by Jñānaguhya and Öngpo Lotsāwa, opens with a stark meditation on impermanence and the sufferings of death and the bardo, then uses this as motivation for a brisk tour through the essentials of bodhisattva training—from refuge, bodhicitta, and the six perfections to tantric practices of illusory body and clear light—urging the practitioner to tame the mind and pursue awakening without delay. +

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 (''pāramitā''s). The text forms the basis of many contemporary discussions of Buddhist ethics and philosophy. +
