Description: Analyzing the moral theory of the seventh century Indian Mahayana master, Santideva, particularly focusing on the neglected Sanskrit text, this important book helps to redress a significant imbalance in the scholarship on Buddhist ethics.

Review Quotes:

'This study, through its de-tailed description of an important Indian Mahayana text, adds necessary nuance to the growing body of literature on Buddhist ethics, and doub-tlessly will remain a useful introduction to Santideva's ethical thinking for some time to come. '- Journal of Buddhist Ethics, 2008
