Kalavinka Press On Generating the Resolve to Become a Buddha by Arya Nagarjuna Shramana Shixian The Honorable Peixiu
In this volume Bhikshu Dharmamitra presents translations of three classic works on the bodhisattva vow bodhicitta authored by: The early Indian monastic eminence Arya Nagarjuna 2nd c.; The Dhyana Master and Pureland Patriarch Shengan Shixian 1686-1734; The Tang Dynasty literatus and prime minister the Honorable Peixiu 797-870. Given that the bodhisattva vow constitutes the very essence of the path to buddhahood this text can be said to be dedicated to the most important topic in all of Mahayana Buddhism. The translation and notes are by the American monk Bhikshu Dharmamitra. This volume includes text outlines and facing-page source text in both traditional and simplified scripts.show more
