Description
 
The Sutra of Queen Srimala of the Lion�s Roar (Srimaladevisimhanada-sutra), translated from the fifth-century Chinese version by Gunabhadra, is a brief but important early Mahayana text. Its major philosophical themes are the tathagatagarbha (�womb of the Buddha�), the inherent potentiality for Buddhahood possessed by all sentient beings, and the One Vehicle teaching. With the �lion�s roar� (eloquence) of a Buddha, the lay bodhisattva Queen Srimala expounds upon these themes with great wisdom and spiritual authority. Translated from the fifth-century Chinese version by Kumarajiva, the Vimalakirti Sutra (Vimalakirtinirdesa-sutra) is a well-known early Mahayana sutra that deals extensively with the doctrines of nonduality and emptiness. The teachings are presented in the form of dialogues between the accomplished lay bodhisattva Vimalakirti and a host bodhisattvas and disciples, including Manjusri and Sariputra.
