The Range of the Bodhisattva (Ārya-Bodhisattva-Gocara): A Mahayana Sutra

by Lozang Jamspal

This is a study and the first complete English translation of the Mahayana Sutra, the Bodhi-sattva-gocara, which presents one of the only Buddhist teachings extant on what might be called a "Buddhist theory of war." The main body of the text takes the form of a dialogue between King Candapradyota and the Nirgrantha sage, Satyaka, who is later revealed by Sakyamuni Buddha to be a bodhisattva of high attainment.
