World Mandala

In this insightful audiobook, Robert Thurman explores The Vimalakirti-nirdesha Sutra, a pivotal text in Mahayana Buddhism that emphasizes the spiritual potential of lay practitioners through its central figure, an ordinary man. Thurman delves into the sutra’s significant themes, including nonduality and emptiness, while contextualizing its importance within the evolution of Buddhist thought. This work serves as both a guide and a reassurance that spiritual attainment is accessible to all, not just monks.
