The Holy Teaching of Vimalakirti- A Mahayana Scripture

Roll over image to zoom in

Product Description

Vimalakirti, although an Indian, can be considered the first Zen master-apart from the Buddha himself-as he specializes in a type of discourse that is subtle, in a lucidity that balances on the razor's edge of paradox and yet is quite logically coherent. His message is particularly appealing to our secular age, because he was a man of the world, not a monk or saint. In essence, Vimalakirti clears up the confusions surrounding the central Buddhist concept of emptiness, or voidness-presenting it not as nihilism but rather, in the translator's words, "as the joyous and compassionate commitment to living beings born form an unwavering confrontation with the inconceivable profundity of ultimate reality"
