Revisiting one of my favourite #Buddhist texts, the Lankavatara sutra. It's 1600 years old and more psychedelic than any 1960's stuff you could imagine. In this bit, the Buddha has just come out of the deep sea where he hung out for 7 days and then has a conversation with a snake king about the nature of reality. An incredible text with incredible insights.
