Description
The Bodhisattva Path Commentary on the Vimalakirti and Ugrapariprccha Sutras by Thich Nhat Hanh This book offers new insights into the bodhisattva ideal, a key concept in early Mahayana Buddhism. Thich Nhat Hanh, a renowned Zen Master, provides commentaries on two important sutras, the Ugraparipṛccha Sutra and the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa Sutra, which date back to the first century CE. The bodhisattva ideal emerged as a response to the fragmentation of Buddhism into separate schools, which had led to a disconnection from the world and a focus on individual liberation. In contrast, the Mahayana path aimed to bring Buddhist teachings to all people, regardless of their social background. Thich Nhat Hanh's commentaries shed light on this pivotal moment in Buddhist history. With its historical context and Thich Nhat Hanh's thought-provoking commentary, this book provides a unique understanding of the bodhisattva ideal and its significance in Buddhist philosophy.
