May 4th 2022 -  The Vimalakīrti Sūtra - Chapter Five – Inquiring About The Illness
Channel: Tendai Buddhist Institute
Date: 10/07/2022

An ongoing exploration of this important and popular sutra. After Shakyamuni Buddha’s disciples and most bodhisattvas all find reasons for not going to visit the deathly ill Vimalakīrti he asks Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, who agrees to go. We discuss one chapter every several months. There are various translations, several of which are available on the internet. The translation referenced here is the Burton Watson version. 

It is through your kind generosity that we are able to continue the work of the Tendai Buddhist Institute. If you would like to donate to our Temple, please visit our donation page: http://www.tendai.org/tbi/donate/. 

May we share these merits and virtues with all sentient beings, and progress together on the Buddha Path of Liberation.
 
Svaha!
