{"product_id":"profound-reality-of-interdependence-the","title":"Profound Reality of Interdependence, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Way of the Bodhisattva, composed by the monk and scholar 'S=antideva 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. Over one thousand years after 'S=antideva's composition, Künzang Sönam (1823-1905) produced the most extensive commentary on the Way of the Bodhisattva ever written. This book is the first English translation\n\u003cbr\u003eof Künzang Sönam's overview of 'S=antideva's notoriously difficult ninth chapter on wisdom.   The ninth chapter of the Way of the Bodhisattva is philosophically very rich but forbiddingly technical, and can only\n\u003cbr\u003ebe read well with a good commentary. Künzang Sönam's commentary offers a unique and complete introduction to the view of Pr=asa:ngika-Madhyamaka, the summit of Buddhist philosophy in Tibet, as articulated by Tsongkhapa. It brings 'S=antideva's text, and Tsongkhapa's interpretation of Pr=asa:ngika-Madhyamaka, into conversation with a vast Buddhist literature from India and Tibet. By articulating the integral relationship between emptiness and interdependence, this text formulates a\n\u003cbr\u003esustained and powerful argument for emptiness as a metaphysical basis of bodhisattva ethics. This volume makes the ninth chapter accessible to English-speaking teachers and students of the Way of the Bodhisattva.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43935012913390,"sku":"9780190911911","price":276.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190911911.jpg?v=1709447002","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/profound-reality-of-interdependence-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
