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