 Feb 1 Wed 7:30pm | Carlos Museum | Transforming the Five Root Afflictions into the Five Wisdom Buddhas
Tibetan Buddhism aims at a radical transformation of persons through the transmutation of afflicted bodies and minds into enlightened ones. The five root afflictions that affect all beings in various proportions are ignorance, hatred, craving, greed, and envy. When the energy of these afflictions is purified, the result is a particular kind of embodied enlightened wisdom. At Emory Michael C. Carlos Museum, Atlanta. MORE DETAILS  |
