See Padmakara The Way of the Boddhisattva p.i-xxi
This page will include a discussion on methodological issues related to the translation of the Bodhicaryāvatāra into modern languages. In this discussion, we will identify key points that are particularly relevant for translators of Indian Buddhist treatises.
Marcus says: I see this page needs some work. The top should contextualize this whole situation more. This is one of, if not THE most translated Buddhist text into English and it has been used to discuss translation on many occasions in print and in speeches. Ths page should also highlight this discussion and perhaps others from our translation conferences: https://www.shambhala.com/translating-the-way-of-the-bodhisattva/ - Gomez and others spoke about this in different ways at several events, we just need to identify which videos are relevant. Bonus content, Luis Gomez last public speech could be edited out of this longer video: https://conference.tsadra.org/session/approaches-to-translation-transmission/
