The Brahmā's Net Sutra

Beschreibung

The Brahma's Net Sutra plays an important niche role in the development of East Asian Mahayana Buddhism. It is the primary extant Vinaya text that articulates the precepts from a Mahayana perspective. That is, it takes its main audience to be "bodhisattva practitioners”, mainly householders who remain engaged with society rather than becoming renunciant monks or nuns.
