Video recordings of the teaching will be shared on Khenpo’s Teachings— The Vimalakirti Sutra after each session. Unfortunately, we have to let you know that by following the recording instead of the live steaming, you cannot receive the oral transmission of this sutra. Probably this is the only thing you may need to consider.

Since Khenpo is teaching in Chinese, and he chooses the version of Kumarajiva as the main text, so when we prepare the slides for the teaching, we use John McRae’s translation to follow the Chinese text.

There are several translations that you may use for your reference:

  1. John McRae’s translation
  2. 84000’s translation
  3. Burton Watson’s translation
