This is the companion volume to The Range of the Bodhisattva: Introduction and Translation, a critical Tibetan edition of the Mahayana Sutra, the Bodhisattva-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 Shakyamuni Buddha to be a bodhisattva of high attainment. The author�s critical edition synthesizes the readings of five different recensions of the text to produce an edition of the sutra that runs parallel to the published English translation.
