The Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar
Santideva in eighth-century India, is a Buddhist treatise in verse
that beautifully and succinctly lays out the theory and practice of
the Mahayana path of a bodhisattva. Over one thousand years after
Santideva's composition, Kunzang Soenam (1823-1905) produced the
most extensive commentary on the Way of the Bodhisattva ever
written. This book is the first English translation of Kunzang
Soenam's overview of Santideva's notoriously difficult ninth
chapter on wisdom. The ninth chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva
is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can
only be read well with a good commentary. Kunzang Soenam's
commentary offers a unique and complete introduction to the view of
Prasangika-Madhyamaka, the summit of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet,
as articulated by Tsongkhapa. It brings Santideva's text, and
Tsongkhapa's interpretation of Prasangika-Madhyamaka, into
conversation with a vast Buddhist literature from India and Tibet.
By articulating the integral relationship between emptiness and
interdependence, this text formulates a sustained and powerful
argument for emptiness as a metaphysical basis of bodhisattva
ethics. This volume makes the ninth chapter accessible to
English-speaking teachers and students of the Way of the
Bodhisattva.
