SHURANGAMA Online - 

 The Shurangama Sutra is a set of Buddhist sutras on the teachings of the Mahayana Divergent, aimed at directing the "Mindfulness Truth" available in the five aggregates of all sentient beings. That is, all sentient beings have this "True Mind Truth", but because of an unconscious mind, The scene of the money in turn starts everything wrong. The world and sentient beings here continue to spin forever forever do not know where is the twist! Now, I want to return to the "Heart Truth", the Buddha taught primarily to choose two basic items:

1. Basics of life and death: Imagine that all of us expect the fate of self-determination.

2. Basis of Bodhi Nirvana: That present in our original consciousness that it, or birth of the coast, but the coast of the coast of it. It is because we all miss this "body" so forever chasing the dead life that can not identify the real thing. Here, the Buddha because of great compassion for the cloud to ignore ignorance for the sun of our wisdom is light, so He did not from the hard to open enough to show the means to clear the mind often wise. to return to live, to escape all the suffering bound from countless lifetimes to now. Once we have identified the true mind, then we have achieved the true path of solidarity and there is no doubt on the path of direct cultivation to the fullness of Buddhahood. This is the wish of the Tathagata wish!

Back to the Surangama also has many special points worth noting:

1. This Sutra indicates the inanimate person at the six very clear grounds, to make the place of practice with the usual seat.

2. The path of cultivation is very clear and suitable for Zen. The previous method of cutting down, after the shop, like Zen before the idea and after the start. It means teaching us right where the birth of this kill before recognizing the "Mind of Truth abiding throughout the world", similar to the Zen Master before recognizing the "master" or "Lai Lai Section" here

3. This business is consistent with the Lotus Sutra. Sutra, to enter, "Enter the Buddha," Enter the Buddha, This is the link between the two Sutras.

4. This particular ten Buddhist scriptures emphasize the six main roots are the roots of samsara, also the six roots are the roots of Nirvana, not the Buddha alone. And here also at the altar to make the door to win back to self-nature through the "Self-reflection" of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, which we often hear of.

5. This sutra only shows the events occurring while meditating on meditation to make the practitioner understand clearly, so that while the practitioner can not be misled, he will eventually reach the final stage.

6. In addition to the profoundly difficult theoretical point of view, this form of the Sutra is also a very fluent literary style, plus sophisticated and sharp theoretical rigor that many scholars from ancient to present each When reading to this Surangama business must bow the plate of praise.

The above points are enough for us to see this Surangama Sutra for us, especially the Zen people, is very important and has many useful to say it all.

 Through the Buddha's teachings in the Sutra, making us confident that we have a great purity of Dharmakaya over the ten directions, considering all the things in the world are false, dreams like dreams. bao, like illusory, there is nothing true. Since then, we have received a very clear path of Buddhist practice, such as entering a large city in which there is a map available, no more straying away from the path!

In response to the teachings of the Buddha and the Teachings, we have tried to translate the Sutra into Vietnamese, to disseminate the teachings of the Buddha to the benefit of all.

. Our comments are completely honest with Mr. Ham Thi's comment, not dare to add or subtract. Through history, we find that Mahamataka is actually a gnostic Zen master in the discipleship of Soto, so his comment is very relevant to the mind. He passed the name of the "Surangama strictly Immediate Only". Because his words are aimed directly at the learner in his daily life, he realizes the xinxing and does not seek far away. So the explanation is very deep sense of the Buddha's teachings. And he also tried to avoid crooked explanations on the script, making it difficult for the scholar to receive the Sutra, as a buffalo loses the buffalo. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.24/4/2018.
