The "Abhisamayalankära " is one of the most important works of Mahāyāna Buddhism, because it epitomizes the ascent of the Bodhisattva to the “ land of the Buddha ", by passing through successive moments or stages representing a progressive moral and mental purification. The work is written in extremely obscure verses, for the first time here translated and made accessible to students who are thus enabled to follow in its intricacies the path of the adepts in the Mahāyāna and understand one of the most intense texts of Oriental mystics.
