Ocean of Good Explanation (Wyl. legs bshad rgya mtsho) - a commentary on the Bodhicharyavatara written by Ngülchu Thogme Zangpo.

Patrul Rinpoche would often use this commentary as a basis for teaching the text.

This commentary was used by Stephen Batchelor as a basis for his translation of the root text of the Bodhicharyavatara published by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives. Most of the Thogme Zangpo’s commentary on the ninth chapter is included in Batchelor’s translation, for the sake of clarifying the root text.
