#67 The Bob Thurman Podcast

Bob describes a dialogue between Manjusri and Vimilakirti regarding the question of how one should love all sentient beings. In answering the question, Manjusri reveals the 'bedside manner' of the Buddha as one that sees past the relative sickness and suffering of a being to the indestructible essence of their true health and happiness.

#66 The Bob Thurman Podcast

Bob explains how Mahākāśyapa has his vision of duality shattered by Vimalakirti by teaching him that even Mara, the Indian Satan, is a bodhisattva created in this form to teach others about their own negativity. And how giving away what we consider most precious is the only way to break the cycle of attachment that makes us suffer.
