Seller's Description:
Fair. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 2nd edition. Underlining to 7 pages, else text clean; binding tight; moderate wear to covers; water damage to back cover; minor crinkling to final 35 pages; creasing to front cover. A scarce copy of the first complete English commentary on the Bodhisattvacharyavatara--the premier text on how to engage in the practices of a bodhisattva (one who is solely motivated by the desire to attain full enlightenment for the benefit of others). The text upon which this commentary is based, has been the cornerstone of mahayana Buddhist practice in India and Tibet for the past 1200 years. Gyatso's commentary provides a clear verse-by-verse exposition of the full root text, explaining how to develop and maintain the supremely altruistic motivation of a bodhisattva, and how then to engage in one's day-to-day life in the actual practices that lead to the attainment of full enlightenment or buddhahood. Included also in this highly-acclaimed work is a guide to attaining the meditative state of tranquil abiding through the development of single-pointed concentration, and a detailed explanation of Shantideva's profound teachings on the Madhyamika Prasangika view of emptiness, the ultimate nature of reality. 423 pages.
