The Bodhisattva Path to Unsurpassed Enlightenment: A Complete

The Bodhisattva Path to Unsurpassed Enlightenment: A Complete Translation of the Bodhisattvabhumi (Tsadra Book 17)

?rya Asangaâ€™s Bodhisattvabh?mi, or The Stage of a Bodhisattva, is the Mah?y?na traditionâ€™s most comprehensive manual on the practice and training of bodhisattvasâ€”by the authorâ€™s own account, a compilation of the full range of instructions contained in the entire collection of Mah?y?na sutras. A classic work of the Yog?c?ra school, it has been cherished in Tibet by all the historical Buddhist lineages as a primary source of instruction on bodhisattva ethics, vows, and practices, as well as for its summary of the ultimate goal of the bodhisattva pathâ€”supreme enlightenment.

Despite the textâ€™s seminal importance in the Tibetan traditions, it has remained unavailable in English except in fragments. Engleâ€™s translation, made from the Sanskrit original with reference to the Tibetan translation and commentaries, will enable English readers to understand more fully and clearly what it means to be a bodhisattva and practitioner of the Mah?y?na tradition.
