This is just a sneak peek at the possibility of learning more about the deep and wonderful Avatamsaka Sutra in the coming months...although this sutra is immense and wordy, it is also quite beautiful and aspirational as we travel through the vast lands of the cosmos, receiving instruction from numerous buddhas and other beings as we flower into Bodhisattvas--great enlightening beings.  

Although it is vast, we can benefit from even small sections of it and I have in mind short offerings with art play each session (no artistic talent needed!)  The beauty and depth of this sutra penetrate our beings--using the words but deeper than words.

Here is a link to a wonderful article about the sutra from Taigen Dan Leighton, in the Lion's Roar, several years ago--if you're interested to learn more.
