    What do you think it means to live selflessly?
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017*

Shantideva is a man who appears to have acquired alien like intelligence when it comes to living a selfless life. Consider this quote from his chapter on patience: "That the Buddha's heart might rejoice, henceforth I shall be the master of myself, the servant of the world. I shall not seek revenge though the crowds stomp on my head or kill me. Let the guardians of the world rejoice." I am pretty confident I will never meet someone this ethically committed to being patient--wish I had a time machine to talk with Shantideva for a day and ask him where exactly his insights came from (each verse in that book reads like a profound insight). Perhaps all his thoughts just assembled in his mind as he delivered his famous discourse to a crowd who was skeptical of his moral integrity at Nalanda. They thought he just walked around the university not caring about anything but rest and food. There are so many poetic, inspiring and beautiful verses throughout this book--however, I discourage you to take every verse literally unless you really don't mind being trampled or killed by crowds without seeking revenge. Nevertheless, a ton can be learned from this book just by leaning in the direction of the ethical path he has written. Consider another favorite verse I have from him:  "There is nothing that does not grow light through habit and familiarity. Working with small trials, I train myself to handle great adversity."

    Today I place myself in the service of the world
  

*by A***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2012*

honestly this is the only book you need for the rest of your life.Those of us in the West, looking for a practice, this is it. We shop around the various schools and sects,like bees buzzing around the lotuses of the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.May the seed in all of us sprout and blossom,may our nations bloom into a vast and limitless Dharma garden.This book is the cultivation manual & almanac for that garden,Shantideva's practice is the tending of that garden.this is the textual equivalent of a cascading waterfall,pouring over your head and cleaning the dirt from your heart.the successful surgical removal of the ignorance cataract from your wisdom eye resulting in pure vision.a wise man once said to me,"Bible means Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth."This is that, basic instructions before leaving earth."May I be a guard for those who are protectorless/A guide for those who journey on the road/For those who wish to cross the water/May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge/May I be an isle for those who yearn for land/A lamp for those who long for light/For all those who need a resting place, a bad/For those who need a servant, may I be their slave/"Amazing.Read it before you meditate, read it after, read it every day.Homage to manjushri, protector of the universe,may the head of ignorance be struck from the shoulders of my body of confusion.OM A RA PA TSA NA DHIH

    A wonderful guide to a truly noble and fulfilling way of life
  

*by M***X on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2021*

This book is a wonderful guide to the developmental path of bodhissatvas. I found it very helpful to have the book taught by a teacher and senior practitioners as I could see how there could be some misinterpretation without the help of commentary (I’ve heard Pema Chodrons commentary is helpful in clearing up misperceptions). May all beings who read it be happy and free of suffering, may they all have joy awaken and attain the fortune of enlightenment!
