Description
Living Skillfully: A Contemporary Buddhist Philosophy of Life from the Vimalakīrti Sutra by Dale Stuart Wright offers a practical approach to living a healthy and undeluded life. Drawing upon the Mahayana Buddhist scripture, this book explores the concept of "skillful means" as a guide for contemporary Buddhist life. The book delves into key themes from the Vimalakirti Sutra, including the nature of change and contingency, the concept of no permanent self, and the characteristics of an admirable Buddhist life. By examining these questions, Wright aims to provide clear explanations for primary Buddhist teachings and their relevance to modern life. This book is a contemporary and practical exploration of how the Vimalakirti Sutra can inform our way of living as global citizens.
