Description
 
Khenpo Shenga's (1871-1927) annotated commentaries form the core of the present curriculum in many Buddhist colleges throughout the Himalayan region. It is said that he was able to teach texts such as Bodhicharyavatara entirely from memory.

Entering the Way of the Bodhisattvas (Bodhicharyavatara) is the most respected and well know text that teaches how to train the mind of a bodhisattva. This text focuses on bodhichitta, mindfulness, attentiveness and the six paramitas. It is an important and foundational text for anyone interested in training their mind following the Buddhist Mahayana tradition. This book teaches how to live in this world in an ethical and moral way that brings happiness and contentment to both self and others.

The author of the root text used in this commentary, Shantideva, was born in the south of India sometime around the early part of the 8th century and became one of the great scholar practitioners of Nalanda University.
