Modern Thought in Buddhism

In this thought-provoking workshop, Robert Thurman delves into the Buddhist perspective on apocalyptic visions, particularly focusing on the prophecy of Guatama Buddha regarding the future Buddha, Maitreya. Recorded in the mid-1980s, the course sheds light on the teachings and predictions surrounding Maitreya's eventual arrival on Earth, exploring the significance of this event in the context of Buddhist doctrine. Through rigorous analysis, Thurman invites listeners to consider what Buddhist apocalyptic thought reveals about the end of the world as we know it.
