High-level analysis of Bodhicitta,
By
This review is from: Concept of Bodhicitta... (Paperback)
This book provides an interesting and extremely conceptual analysis of the different meanings underlying the concept of Bodhicitta based on the text of the Bodhicaryavatara. This allows to better understand the various assumptions hidden behind this difficult concept. Together with the reading of the Bodhicaryavatara, it gives a very deep understanding of the implications of being "enlightened". It clearly shows that enlightenment is something very difficult to find (i should have better said "to be") while at the same time it is mainly a question of being convinced that one is truly enlightened.I would suggest readers no to read this book before having read and understood the Bodhicaryavatara unless it will be almost of no use for the reader. One first need to know what we are talking about before getting into a conceptual discussion of its various aspects...my opinion is that one cannot understand this book before really mastering the ideas of the Bodhicaryavatara. When you're convinced you understand it very deeply, not just intellectually, but also through experience, than only you're ready for this book. So this is a difficult book unless you already know quite well what it is going to be about...
