Twelve Wednesday afternoons, January 27th, 2021 – April 14th, 2021
from 4:15pm-5:45pm, ET and Zazen from 6:00pm to 7:15pm
Through a close reading of The Holy Teaching of Vimalakīrti, this course will explore the meaning of the bodhisattva’s compassionate vow to liberate all suffering sentient beings. We will investigate the following questions: What is the role of the bodhisattva? How can a bodhisattva truly effectuate his/her compassionate activity in the world? What is bodhisattva burnout? And what is the remedy?
