Description
Today's Talk will reflect on passages from the Vimalakirti Sutra.    One of the most popular Asian classics for roughly two thousand years, the Vimalakirti Sutra stands out because unlike most sutras, its central figure is not a Buddha but a wealthy townsman, who, in his mastery of doctrine and practice, epitomizes the ideal lay practitioner.    Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: September 2021 Zazenkai Talk (Commencement of 2021 ANGO & JUKAI Season)»
