A review by eralon
The Way of the Bodhisattva by Śāntideva, Dalai Lama XIV, Padmakara Translation Group
4.0
Some interesting things to think about. Some weird stuff. Short but dense. Read it because Dan Harris said Dalai Lama recommended it. Hm.
I was particularly interested in some (accidental?) overlap with Christianity (love thy enemy) and modern particle physics.
As one reviewer mentioned, this is definitely not an introductory text for Buddhism but a more advanced book, and despite the previous Buddhism books I've read, a substantial amount was probably just above my head.
