2012 Vimalakirti Class Dates

Saturday's 10:30 - Noon (After "Come As You Are Zen")

January 21, February 25, March 17th, April 21st and May 19th

The Vimalakirti Sutra, written around 100 c.e., is an ongoing study class. This sutra is beloved by practitioners for its use of humor in teaching the deepest truths of Mahayana Buddhism. Long revered in the Zen traditional cannon, the exploits of Vimalakirti Bodhisattva appear often in koans and stories. Vimalakirti, neither monk nor layman, is always ready with a quick retort and a penetration question for those who share his world. Everyone is welcome. Donation requested.
