Atiśa’s Stages of the Path to Awakening: Together with Commentaries and Ritual Texts
par Jim B. Apple (University of Calgary)
Résumé de l’ouvrage :
Atiśa’s Stages of the Path Awakening (Bodhipathakrama), translated here, synthesizes all aspects of Buddhist practice, from the very beginning of the path—reflecting on the fortunate opportunity of human rebirth—up through to attaining omniscient buddhahood by nondual meditation. After centuries of silence, this profound work has reemerged from the shadows of history owing to recently recovered manuscripts of the Kadampas. This significant study of Buddhist path literature offers a complete translation from the Tibetan of this monument of guidance on the Buddhist path accompanied by the commentaries and ritual texts that were transmitted alongside Atiśa’s text. Apple’s substantial introduction includes a structural comparison with Atiśa’s famous work, charts the transmission lineage for the present work before it died out, and explores various hypotheses for why their fates diverged. Recovered from the contingencies of history, this book brings to life one of the most holistic and integrated approaches to the highest realizations of the Indian Buddhist path ever transmitted in Tibet.
