The Bodhisattva Vow: A Sourcebook

The Bodhisattva Vow: A Sourcebook is a compilation of commentaries and traditional text excerpts on the Buddhist Bodhisattva Vow by various teachers including Chögyam Trungpa, Sakyong Mipham, Thrangu Rinpoche, and Shantideva, among others. A valuable resource for both those preparing to take the vow, and for teachers of Buddhism. “We call a bodhisattva …a ‘warrior’ because the person who is able to generate that kind of attitude is tremendously courageous despite daunting odds. We are actually making a conscious effort in our life to be of benefit to everybody.”–Chögyam Trungpa
