Show Notes

In a reading of Nāgārjuna's Jewel Rosary (Ratnāvalī), Professor Thurman discusses the skillful paths of evolutionary action performed by body, speech, and mind, presenting that these paths of evolutionary actions shape an individual's personal evolution or devolution in an evolutionary matrix similar to that of Darwin but, adding to it voluntary individual evolution through infinite multiple lives.

This is an extract from Professor Thurman's Spring 2013 lecture series at Tibet House US - titled : A Banquet of Sutras and Shastras.
