This new and moving translation of the Brahma's Net Sutra also
includes translations of ancillary materials not previously
available. Translated and introduced by the well-known teacher and
author Martine Batchelor, this should become a classic for all
those who aspire to the compassion of the Buddha. "The Buddha gave
clear instructions about how a boddhisattva should preserve and
nurture the altruistic aspiration to enlightenment that are
contained in the scriptures of the various Mahayana traditions. The
Boddhisattva Precepts found in the Brahma's Net Sutra of the
Chinese and Korean traditions have laid the foundation of an
ethical way of life and the essential ground to a life of
compassion for many Buddhists in East Asia since ancient times. We
live in an era in which I believe it is extremely important to
foster harmony and respect among all religious traditions.
Therefore, I believe it is significant that such a seminal text be
made more widely in an English translation and I congratulate the
translator, the International Sacred Literature Trust and AltaMira
Press for making this book, The Path of Compassion, available.
Readers, whether or not they are Buddhist, will find that these
precepts encourage us, in a very practical way, to protect life in
all its forms and work towards a more peaceful and understanding
world; goals that we all can admire." -from the foreword by H. H.
The Dalai Lama
