The Rise of the Asuras and the Sword of Wisdom
Manage episode 348749340 series 2579257
Vajragupta (m) offers a Buddhist myth of the asuras, the Titan realm on the Wheel of Life, as a way of seeing and understanding the social and political times we are living through. In this myth, the Buddha appears in the realm of the asuras holding a sword. What does that symbolize? Vajragupta suggests it can be seen as a sword of fearlessness, a sword of truth and wisdom, a sword of justice, and the sword of the archetypal "king".
This talk was given at Cardiff Buddhist Centre, 2022. ***
