Episode description
Today's FBA Podcast, "Transcending the Human Predicament", Sangharakshita investigates various symbolic elements in the Parable of the Burning House and we are reminded of the importance of responding to 'the call of the Divine'. The general significance of the parable is then discussed under the headings of escapism, universalism and sectarianism.
"The White Lotus Sutra is not only a religious classic, but a masterpiece of symbolic spiritual literature." ~ Sangharakshita
From the classical ground-breaking series: Parables, Myths and Symbols of Mahayana Buddhism in the White Lotus Sutra given in 1971.
