| Summary: | This text passage titled - "The Holy Teaching of Vimalakirthi" is a series of conversational discourses between a certain Liuhari, by name Vimalakirthi and various disciples of Buddha. During the conversational discourse in about twelve (or thirteen, if Epilogue is technically to be taken as a chapter) Chapters, it brings out the finer points of Mahayana Buddhistic practices and precepts. The text purports to record events that took place during Gautamma Buddha's time. This teaching of Vimalakirthi, revived by Nagarjuna (circa 1st cent. BC to 1st cent. AD) became most the popular text, since 3rd cent. AD. This text was translated into Chinese seven times. The present text is based on the translations of the Chinese book by Rev. E. Bangert into modern Thai and Sanskrit language. The text has very useful notes and glossaries for thebenefit of the reader. |
