Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra
Why is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva especially important in times of war, disease, disaster, and uncertainty? In the opening lesson of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Khenpo Sodargye explains why he translated the sutra into Tibetan and why its teachings are urgently relevant to the modern world.
He introduces Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s extraordinary vows and blessings, addresses questions about the sutra’s authenticity, and begins the first chapter—where countless Buddhas and bodhisattvas gather in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven as Shakyamuni Buddha teaches the Dharma for his mother.
