Shantideva Online is an interesting site dedicated to the works of the historical Acharya Shantideva.The Bodhisattva spirit is an inclusive, life-affirming spirit which transcends not only ethnicity, gender, and the cultural variations of practice, but one which transcends Buddhism, as the Bodhisattva spirit can recognize the appropriateness to be found in the practices and traditions of other faiths that are inclusive and life-affirming.
It's worth a read.
Bodhisattva precepts and vows can be found here.
