Sažetak
This book explores an important concept within the Buddhist Mahâyana tradition, bodhicitta. This term appears frequently in Sanskrit literature relating to the spiritual practices of the bodhisattva in Mahâyana Buddhism and has been variously translated as "thought of enlightenment" or "desire of enlightenment." Since the understanding that emerges involves how one ought to view the process of spiritual transformation, this work contributes to Buddhist psychology and soteriology in particular, and to comparative religions in general. The book surveys the various interpretations of the concept of bodhicitta, analyzes its possible functions in the context of the spiritual path of the aspirant to enlightenment, and discusses an understanding of bodhicitta in the context of the Sântideva's Bodhicaryâvatâra.
