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, 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.
Facilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg
