Episode Details

This episode is a narration of the 49th Sutta of the Middle Discourses of the Buddha, The Brahmanimantanika Sutta. In this sutta the Buddha ascends to a high heavenly realm where he engages in a cosmic contest with a powerful divinity, who had fallen into the delusion that he was eternal and all-powerful.
