This book offers a contemporary philosophy of life drawing upon Buddhist resources from the Vimalakirti Sutra. The book adopts that theme as a means of developing a practical approach to contemporary Buddhist life. Among the major themes in this Mahayana Buddhist scripture is the "skillful means" required to live a healthy and undeluded life.
Among the questions addressed are: who is the Buddha, how is a worldview of change and contingency applicable to current life, what does it mean to claim that there is no permanent self, what are the primary characteristics of an admirable Buddhist life, how is freedom conceived in Buddhism, and how do all of these themes Following many of the brilliant stories in the sutra, this book attempts to provide clear explanations for the primary Buddhist teachings and the relationships that bind them all together into an inspiring way of living.
