The Profound Reality of Interdependence

The Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar ntideva 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. 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. This volume makes Knzang Snam's extensive commentary on the ninth chapter accessible to English-speaking teachers and students of the Way of the Bodhisattva.
