In this satirical, allegorical essay, Māra - the Buddhist personification of evil and death - writes a letter to his armies with instructions on how to keep his subjects trapped in his realm of birth and death.
Māra is portrayed as a modern figure who views his dominions through a computer monitor. His armies personify the mental defilements that prevent one from attaining true liberation.
This essay will help make traditional Buddhist Cosmology and doctrine accessible for modern readers.
