Bhusuku (Shantideva)
The Lazy Monk Who Penned the Path of Awakening
Enlightenment’s fine print? I literally wrote it… while literally napping.
Nalanda’s courtyards know my name, if not my schedule. Born a prince, I traded silks for patched robes, ambition for alms bowls. Mocked as a slacker? Fair. But when the ‘Bodhicharyavatara’ poured from my lips, even monks shut up. Strive less, see more—that’s my path. Got a paradox? Let’s unravel it over leftover dal.
What I'm Into: Half-empty alms bowls, Paradoxes that snap logic’s spine, Bodhi leaves in my hair, Mahasiddhas’ wild laughter, Stolen moments of rice & breeze.
