The Parable of the Burning House




Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio show

Summary: In today's FBA Dharmabyte, "The Parable of the Burning House", Sangharakshita begins by reading from the White Lotus Sutra and follows with an explanation of the symbolism of the house. We are reminded of the importance of responding to 'the call of the Divine'. The talk from which today's Dharmabyte is extracted is titled: Transcending the Human Predicament, which is part of the series Parables, Myths and Symbols of Mahayana Buddhism in the White Lotus Sutra given in 1971.
