Short description:
The Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar Ś?ntideva in eighth-century India, is a Buddhist treatise in verse that beautifully and succinctly lays out the theory and practice of the Mahayana path of a bodhisattva. The ninth chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can only be read well with a good commentary. This volume makes Künzang Sönam's extensive commentary on the ninth chapter accessible to English-speaking teachers and students of the Way of the Bodhisattva.
MoreLong description:
The Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar Ś?ntideva in eighth-century India, is a Buddhist treatise in verse that beautifully and succinctly lays out the theory and practice of the Mahayana path of a bodhisattva. Over one thousand years after Ś?ntideva's composition, Künzang Sönam (1823-1905) produced the most extensive commentary on the Way of the Bodhisattva ever written. This book is the first English translation of Künzang Sönam's overview of Ś?ntideva's notoriously difficult ninth chapter on wisdom.
The ninth chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can only be read well with a good commentary. Künzang Sönam's commentary offers a unique and complete introduction to the view of Pr?sa?gika-Madhyamaka, the summit of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, as articulated by Tsongkhapa. It brings Ś?ntideva's text, and Tsongkhapa's interpretation of Pr?sa?gika-Madhyamaka, into conversation with a vast Buddhist literature from India and Tibet. By articulating the integral relationship between emptiness and interdependence, this text formulates a sustained and powerful argument for emptiness as a metaphysical basis of bodhisattva ethics. This volume makes the ninth chapter accessible to English-speaking teachers and students of the Way of the Bodhisattva.
All in all, this is an excellent piece of scholarship which significantly contributes to our understanding of Prasangika-Madhyamaka.
