The Vimalakirti Sutra
The Vimalakirti Sutra | Burton Watson
1 post | 1 read
Originally written in Sanskrit, this sutra is one of the most influential works in the Mahayana canon. This beautiful translation of Kumarajiva's popular Chinese version highlights the sutra's frequent touches of humor, the liveliness of its episodes, and its eloquent, orderly exposition of basic Mahayana tenets. Watson includes a brief history of early Buddhism and an introduction to the doctrine of non-dualism, a key tenet in Mahayana thought.

We've been reading the Vimalakirti Sūtra in the study group I run for undergrads. Marginalia is probably one of my favorite things about a study group--the notes I take before we meet and during our discussion track the changes in my own responses to the sūtra.
