Description
The Rice Seedling Sutra presents the Buddha's profound teachings on dependent arising and the laws of karma. This ancient text explains how cause and effect work in the natural world, mirroring the way our senses encounter objects and create sense consciousness. The Buddha notes that actions performed out of ignorance can lead to suffering, but also that awakening is assured when the right conditions are assembled. Geshe Yeshe Thabkhe explores dependent arising and its corollary teaching of emptiness through this sutra and others. He provides a rich and authoritative context for the Buddha's words, drawing on his extensive command of Buddhist scriptures and deep familiarity with the subject matter. This translation offers a unique insight into the teachings of Nagarjuna and Chandrakirti. By studying the Rice Seedling Sutra, readers can gain a deeper understanding of dependent arising and its significance in Buddhism.
