It is unique amongst the Suttas, and widely published, translated, and respected. In the Dhaniya Sutta, we see a brilliantly juxtapositioned narrative — on the one […]
Intergalactic Buddha: if Buddha was an alien from another planet, galaxy or dimension — or alternate reality — what would he be like? Compassionate and wise, regardless of illusory appearances.
In the Lotus Sutra (chapter 25) Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva can take any shape, personality or manifestation — whatever is most suited to the beings to be helped.
