5.0 out of 5 starsSantideva's Bodhicaryavatara: By K Crosby & A Skilton.
By ShiDaDao Ph.D on 30 Aug. 2011
Format: Paperback
This is a very important Mahayana Buddhist Sutra, appearing as a volume in Oxford's 'World's Classics' series - a publication that is over a hundred years old, and which serves to bring classic literature from around the world, to as broad an audience as possible. The authers - Kate Crosby and Andrew Skilton - have studied and taught at Oxford, and are considered authorities upon the academic subject of Buddhism. At the time of writing (c. 1994), Crosby is described as writing a doctrinal dissertation upon the subject of a Tantric Theravada meditation manual, whilst Skilton was completely his doctrinal dissertation upon the Samadhiraja Sutra. Paul Williams provides the General Introduction - at the time of writing, he is described as a Reader in Indo-Tibetan Studies and the Co-ordinator of the Centre for Buddhist Studies at the University of Bristol. This translation represents British academia at its most productive.

The paperback (1995) edition contains 191 numbered pages and consists of a General Introduction, a Translators' Introduction and ten distinct chapters:

General Introduction: Santideva and his world.
Translators' Introduction.
The Bodhicaryavatara.
1) Praise of the Awakening Mind.
2) Confession of Faults.
3) Adopting the Awakening Mind.
4) Vigilance regarding the Awakening Mind.
5) The Guarding Awareness.
6) The Perfection of Forbearance.
7) The Perfection of Vigour.
8) The Perfection of Meditative Absorption.
9) The Perfection of Understanding.
10) Dedication.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Fine Edition of an Eighth Century Classic
By Matt Jenkins on 17 Feb. 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is, to my mind, a fine rendering of Shantideva's eighth century classic "The Bodhicaryavatara" (translated from the Sanskrit). In addition to the translation itself, this work includes a useful general introduction by Paul Williams and helpful introductions to each chapter.

I also recommend The Way of the Bodhisattva (Shambhala Classics) which is another fine version, this time taken from the Tibetan. This work also includes a fine introduction and several helpful appendices. Also available is A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, translated by V A Wallace and B Allan Wallace. This edition, also taken from the Sanskrit, includes the Tibetan variations as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsA good reflective summary of each of the main sections
By Kered on 22 May 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Most western readers will find some sections of the Bodhicaryavatara difficult on first approach to the text itself. This edition provides a very useful introduction to readers who are inclined to overcome the apparent barriers.
