Reviews

The enigmatic figure of Santideva and his seminal work on the character traits of the bodhisattva, the Bodhisattvacaryavatara, lie at the heart of Mahayana Buddhism. This collection is essential reading for anyone interested in the cumulative tradition that surrounds both. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines, with diverse perspectives, it sheds new light on Santideva's work, demonstrating its relevance not only within Buddhist Studies but also within cultural history, feminist studies and interreligious contexts. I highly recommend it. * Dr Elizabeth J. Harris, University of Birmingham, President of the UK Association for Buddhist Studies, United Kingdom *
