The Great Perfection of Wisdom Treatise, Fascicles 31-35

大智度論

In this volume of the treatise, Nagarjuna further elucidates the core teaching of The Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra: the perfection of wisdom.

Practicing giving through the perfection of prajna wisdom garners great effects including rebirth in the great families and the heavenly realms, attaining the Noble Eightfold Path, and the ability to become a stream-enterer on up to attaining Buddhahood.

Furthermore, a bodhisattva is able to fulfill the six perfections owing to the power of the skillful means of wisdom. Thus, if he wishes to know emptiness, causes, conditions, suchness, Dharma nature, the real perfect state, and so on—all the myriad teachings of the Buddha—he should learn the perfection of prajna wisdom.

Fascicles 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, and 26-30 are also available.

These selected stories bring the wisdom of the Buddha to life as he explains the importance of the six perfections exemplified in the actions of the characters within the stories.

Pratiquer avec plaisir dans le monde des hommes Le Sūtra de Vimalakīrti

在人間歡喜修行-維摩詰經

(English Title: Practicing Joyfully in the Human World: The Vimalakirti Sutra)

The Vimalakirti Sutra is an important classic in the history of Mahayana Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism. It can be said that the secret meaning of mountains, rivers and the earth are all contained in it: various ways to cure worries, answer life’s questions, and find peace of mind and body. Vimalakirti was a great bodhisattva who advocated the Pure Land on Earth. He combined Buddhism with life, practiced the Buddha’s teachings in life, and built the Pure Land in Buddhism.

Master Hsing Yun has a unique Chan mind. In his interpretation of the text, he leads us to reflect: Who is Vimalakirti? The Master said that all those who believe in Buddhism, study Buddhism, and practice Buddhism are all like Vimalakirti!
