“The Original Bodhicāryavatāra” by Sam van Schaik. The most-used Mahayana commentary is not “authentic.” http://earlytibet.com/2014/02/04/the-original-bodhicaryavatara/ …
@Meaningness That's not van Schaik's conclusion. His definition of "authenticity" is pragmatic. Popular version is not the *earliest*.
