SUMMARY:Sutra Study Sunday – Sūtra “The Teaching of Vimalakīrti” Chapter 4
DESCRIPTION: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’. \nIn 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. \nFacilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg\nText: The Noble Mahāyāna Sūtra “The Teaching of Vimalakīrti” Chapter 4

DESCRIPTION: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’. \nIn this chapter of the Sūtra\, Vimalakīrti demonstrates teachings that defy conceptual limits—rooms that contain multitudes\, stillness amid activity\, and freedom within form—showing liberation that is not separate from everyday life. \nFacilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg\nText: The Noble Mahāyāna Sūtra “The Teaching of Vimalakīrti” Chapter 5

DESCRIPTION: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’. \nIn this chapter of the Sūtra\, a goddess challenges fixed views of gender and identity\, revealing that all distinctions are empty.

DESCRIPTION: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’. \nIn this chapter of the Sūtra\, afflictions themselves become the “family” of awakening\, for without suffering there would be no compassion or path. Bodhisattvas transform defilements into wisdom rather than rejecting them. \nFacilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg\nText: The Noble Mahāyāna Sūtra “The Teaching of Vimalakīrti” Chapter 7

DESCRIPTION: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’. \nIn this chapter of the Sūtra\, Bodhisattvas explain nonduality in many ways—beyond self/other\, samsara/nirvana\, purity/impurity—until Mañjuśrī asks Vimalakīrti for his teaching. Vimalakīrti responds with profound silence\, embodying nonconceptual wisdom. \nFacilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg\nText: The Noble Mahāyāna Sūtra “The Teaching of Vimalakīrti” Chapter 8
