Join us as we explore the rich repository of Buddhist Sutras, Pali Canon, Chinese Ta-ts’ang-ching, and Tibetan Kangyur every first Sunday of the month after the Sunday Service. Sūtra (Pali. sutta) means ‘something that was heard from someone else’ and usually connotes ‘a discourse’.
In this chapter of the Sūtra, Mañjuśrī visits Vimalakīrti, and their dialogue reveals illness as a metaphor for samsaric existence. A bodhisattva “falls ill” out of compassion, sharing the suffering of beings without being bound by it.
Facilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg
