: Mandala Texts: Jangchupsem: The Thought of AwakeningSherab (ཤེས་རབ�) refers to the “perfection of wisdom�.—The champion promoter of Bodhicitta (i.e., jangchupsem or semkye) in Buddhist world is however Śāntideva, who is widely studied in Bhutanese monasteries and who treats the cultivation of Bodhicitta in detail through the practice of six perfections of giving (སྦྱིན་པ་), discipline (ཚུལ་ཁྲིམས་), patience (བཟོད་པ�), zeal (བརྩོན་འགྲུས་), meditation (བསམ་གཏན་) and wisdom (ཤེས་རབ�, sherab). Śāntideva extols Bodhicitta as the quintessential cream from the milk of Buddha’s dharma, the panacea for all maladies, elixer to destroy mortality, the sun to dispel all darkness, the treasure to solve all poverty and a supreme jewel of thought.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
