One of these, considered the definitive text of the Yogācāra school of Buddhism, is the encyclopedic synthesis of Mahayana Buddhist doctrines and practices known as the \u003ci\u003eYogācārabhūmi, \u003c\/i\u003e or \"Stages of Spiritual Practice.\" The \u003ci\u003eBodhisattvabhūmi\u003c\/i\u003e, or \"Stages of the Bodhisattva Path,\" is one portion of that massive work, though it is considered a stand-alone text in the Tibetan traditions--for example, it is counted among the six core texts of the Kadampas. However, despite the text's centrality to the Yogācāra school and its seminal importance in the Tibetan traditions, it has remained unavailable in English except in piecemeal translations; Engle's translation will therefore be especially welcomed by scholars and students alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asanga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1559394293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781559394291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snow Lion Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 2.00d","brand":"Asanga","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939633627391,"sku":"9781559394291","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_41b10986-98da-4fa3-8b2d-0dccbbd22836.jpg?v=1681442632","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bodhisattva-path-to-unsurpassed-asanga-9781559394291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
