About this listen

 Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment, and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries, first in India, and later in Tibet. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas--those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings and to attain buddhahood for their sake.

This version, translated from the Tibetan, is a revision by the translators of the 1997 edition.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A somewhat abridged version of a wonderful translation of an essential text. However, this audiobook lacks both the foreword and commentary advertised on the front image as well as in the book details tab on the app. I bought this version specifically for the highly regarded commentary so I found its absence extremely disappointing.
