This episode is a continuation of last week’s episode on the fifth chapter of the famous Vimalakirti Sutra.
An object of love and inspiration for many lay practitioners, as well as monastics, the Sutra is known for giving an in-depth explanation & analysis of key buddhist concepts, such as emptiness, non-duality, self & non-self, and so on. The 5th chapter relates to Prajnaparamita or Transcendent Wisdom.
This episode was recorded on October 8, 2015 in a class taught by Professor Thurman.
