Recenzje

The Vimalak=irti Sutra is one of the greatest DL and most amusing DL religious texts of all time. Centered on the exemplary character and insight of the wealthy and uncanny layman Vimalakirti, who transcends all dualities, remaining fully engaged, while unencumbered, in the world, this text couldn't be more relevant for our time. As we have by now come to expect, Dale Wright expounds the text with probing precision and practical insight, reading the ancient words both on their own terms, and in ours. This book is essential reading for all contemporary spiritual practitioners DL of any tradition.
