Another influential text often taught and studied is The 37 Practices of the Bodhisattvas
by Gyelsay Ngulchu Thogme Sangpo. Based on Shantideva’s The way of the
Bodhisattva, it is a much shorter text. For a brilliant commentary see Dilgo Khyentse
Rinpoche (2010) The heart of compassion: The thirty-seven verses on the practices of
a Bodhisattva, Shambhala.
