Shantideva - Guide to the Bodhisattvas Way of Life



Regarding Shantidevas Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama states the following.

"If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text [The Way of the Bodhisattva] that I possess it."—H. H. the Dalai Lama"

That being said, I hope you will take the following quote from the text to heart.

"Harmful beings are everywhere like space itself. Impossible it is that all should be supressed.
But let this angry mind alone be overthrown, and it's as though all foes have been subdued."
