“As long as space endures,
As long as there are beings to be found
May I continue likewise to remain
To drive away the sorrows of the world.”

The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) by Shantideva is a classic text in Mahayana Buddhism, offering profound insights into the path of the bodhisattva—an individual dedicated to achieving enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. Written in the 8th century, it provides practical guidance on developing compassion, wisdom, and ethical conduct. The text emphasizes the cultivation of the bodhicitta, or the altruistic intention to attain enlightenment, and explores methods like patience, generosity, and meditation. Its poetic style and deep spiritual wisdom have made it a cherished guide for both ancient and modern practitioners on the Buddhist path.
