What is this season?
In the Northern Buddhist tradition of Vietnam, three days each year honour the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara: the 19th of the second, sixth and ninth lunar months. This seven-day path reads the Universal Gate chapter of the Lotus Sūtra, the Heart Sūtra and other sūtras on the bodhisattva's vows — about ten minutes a day, with one question and one small act to carry.
Every reading is quoted in full from the Inti Dharma library, translator credited. No points, no rankings — each at their own pace.
