Another tidbit from the Buddhism MOOC, whose instructor - a white guy, not explicitly connected to any Buddhist practice or tradition (...) - is free to be more pedagogically playful than the other instructors.
It's part of his argument that what religious texts do - and not just in Buddhist traditions - is "scripture" people and communities, shaping and forming them. He's not quite said that sutras are agents, but he's close.
