About this book
A retelling of Sudhana’s story from the Avataṃsaka Sūtra , this book chronicles a child’s quest to seek spiritual wisdom from fifty-five bodhisattvas. What does it mean to dedicate yourself to the spiritual path with the innocence of a child? The answers to that are revealed in the story of a little boy named Sudhana, protagonist of the longest chapter in one of the oldest and most prominent Mahāyāna Buddhist sūtras. The core of the book consists of fifty-five short chapters, each of which centers around a different bodhisattva. The early Indian Mahāyāna cosmology and doctrine represented in these narratives are grounded in the idea of emptiness but also an expansive, infinite notion of enlightened mind illuminating everywhere. For example, the bodhisattva Megasrī, the first master Sudhana visits, shows with his supernatural power that there are countless enlightened beings in an infinite number of worlds.
