The Vimalak rti Nirde a S tra by Kʻuan Yü Lu Book PDF Summary
"This classic scripture of Mhayana Buddhism and Zen emphasizes spiritual practice in the midst of secular life. Composed in about the second century, C.E., THe Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra tells the story of a householder named Vimalakirti who lives a worldly life while following the Bodhisattva path. This sutra is particularly applicable to Western students of Buddhism because it teaches that people in secular life can practice Buddhism as effectively as members of monastic communities. The translator provides an accurate and accessible text complete with explanatory notes and a glossary"--Back cover.
