Reviews
this is an exceptional collection which not only provides a useful teaching tool for the classroom, but also makes significant conceptual advances to our understanding of the Guide. I warmly recommend it for any serious student of santideva's thought., The essays contain the richness of classical Buddhist writing and showcase the latest trends in Buddhist studies. This is an excellent volume, and a rare one at that., For more than a thousand years santideva's Guide to Bodhisattva Practice has been a profound source of inspiration for Tibetan Buddhists. It was one of the six basic texts of Atisa's Kadam tradition. When teaching it to me, Khunu Lama Rinpoché told me that no other book explains the awakening mind of bodhicitta , the essence of the Buddha's teachings, as effectively as this. santideva describes how a self-centered attitude gives rise to disturbing emotions like anger and fear, but also how they can be countered by altruism and warm-heartedness. He shows how we can tackle our mental afflictions and achieve peace of mind, something that can be of benefit to everyone. The Guide is a book I read, I teach, and keep with me. The readings presented in this volume make clear how much of santideva's advice can be of interest and benefit to readers today., This volume offers its readers valuable insights into the multifaceted literary gem that is the Guide by bringing to bear the expertise of some of the most prominent scholars in Buddhist Studies. Overall, the results serve as an excellent introduction to the multidimensional textual history of the Guide , argue convincingly for the continued importance of the text in the world today, and demonstrate the value of higher literary criticism for Buddhist Studies., This is an exceptional collection which not only provides a useful teaching tool for the classroom, but also makes significant conceptual advances to our understanding of the Guide. I warmly recommend it for any serious student of santideva's thought., santideva's Guide is a poem, a liturgy, a meditation manual, a phenomenology of mind, a moral psychology, an explication of the distinctive Buddhist virtues, and an invitation to the Mahayana way of life. Gold and Duckworth's volume is a set of essays by brilliant contemporary philosophers and religious studies scholars that provides deep and sensitive readings of this great text. santideva comes alive for the twenty-first century in these pages., Anyone familiar with Western ethical thinking, but not with the Indian Buddhist tradition or with santideva's remarkable text, will have much to learn from the connections made in this volume between these distinct ways of thinking about ethics., For more than a thousand years santideva's Guide to Bodhisattva Practice has been a profound source of inspiration for Tibetan Buddhists. It was one of the six basic texts of Atisha's Kadam Tradition. When teaching it to me, Khunu Lama Rinpoché told me that no other book explains the awakening mind of bodhicitta, the essence of the Buddha's teachings, as effectively as this. santideva describes how a self-centred attitude gives rise to disturbing emotions like anger and fear, but also how they can be countered by altruism and warm-heartedness.

The readings presented in this volume make clear how much of santideva's advice can be of interest and benefit to readers today., santideva's Guide to Bodhisattva Practice has inspired Buddhist scholars and practitioners for more than a millennium. Dozens of commentaries have been written--and continue to be written--on this great work. In the last two decades European and American scholars have seriously engaged santideva's work and its commentaries from many different perspectives, exploring its philological, ethical, metaphysical, and ritual dimensions, and analyzing the role it has played in Buddhist self-cultivation. This marvelous collection of essays, written by the very best santideva scholars in the world, provides readers with a much-needed overview of state-of-the-art scholarship on the Guide . Sophisticated yet concise and accessible, this book is an indispensable resource for those of us who have pondered--or lost ourselves in--santideva's beautiful poem.
