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 Mahyna Buddhist Stras.In Search Of The Bodhisattva Way Is Ksei MorimotoS Summary Of Entering The Dharma Realm (Gandavyha), The Final Chapter Of The Avatasaka Stra, Which Had A Lasting Influence On Painting And Sculpture Across Asia.

It Is Only At The End Of His Journey That Sudhana Is Shown The Direct Path To Enlightenment.This Work Is Spiritual, Artistic, And Accessible, While Maintaining Academic Rigor.
