This special edition (2017) from 84000 includes a translation of the sūtra, The Teaching of Vimalakīrti, as well as a thought-provoking commentary by Rinpoche titled, “A Celebrity Falls Sick,” and mind-bending illustrations by contemporary artist, DALeast.
As Rinpoche explains, this sūtra provides astonishingly effective methods for deconstructing anything that is not the truth:
“It’s difficult for those us living in today’s mundane world to swallow the truth when we hear it, and the Vimalakīrti Sūtra contains a great deal about the very highest of high truths. Don’t imagine, though, that the nature of the highest truth is mystical or mythological, because it isn’t. Although the absolute truth cannot be expressed, conceived or conceptualised, all the techniques and tools necessary to establish it have been laid out for us by the Buddha himself. The Vimalakīrti Sūtra… describes astonishingly effective methods for deconstructing anything and everything that is not the truth.”
—Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche
