$Sutra Study Sunday \u2013 Sutra on The Lion\u2019s Roar of Queen Srimala: The Tathagatagarbha$

Join us as we explore the rich repository of Buddhist Sutras, Pali Canon, Chinese Ta-ts’ang-ching, and Tibetan Kangyur every first Sunday of the month after the Sunday Service. Sūtra (Pali. sutta) means ‘something that was heard from someone else’ and usually connotes ‘a discourse’. In this Sūtra, it teaches the concept of Tathagatagarbha—the inherent Buddha-nature within all beings—and its connection to the Noble Truths. The text explains that there are two levels of these truths: a limited, intellectual understanding and a deeper, self-realized one that is only fully attained by a Buddha. We will be studying Chapter 3, Section 7 The Tathagatagarbha.
Facilitators: Lama Matthew Rice (Lobpön Palden Gocha) and Daniel Scharpenburg
