For this year’s Dechen Summer Course, Lama Jampa will continue his teaching of this key text.

The Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra is the 8th Century Indian master Shantideva’s classic guide to the Buddhist path. It is to this day one of the most popular and important works of the Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Lama Jampa will teach the text alongside the detailed commentary by Sonam Tsemo (1142-1182), one of th emost celebrated masters of the Sakya tradition. The commentary shines a brilliant light on Shantideva’s great work, clarifying every detail and resolving every difficult point.
