F. Howes Ltd Release date: 11-22-2023 Language: English Summary: The Surangama Sutra, one of the most important works of Mahayana Buddhism, dates from some time before the 8th Century when the first Chinese translation was written, probably from an Indian original. It has long been a seminal work for Buddhist practitioners in East and South-East Asia, especially China and Korea. Indeed this “Sutra of the Indestructible”, as it is often translated, is regarded as a staple manual of practice for newly-ordained monks of the Ch'an and Zen schools, giving instruction, through the words of the Buddha himself, in the correct understanding of the Buddha-nature or ‘Tathagata-garbha', that seed of enlightenment that lies dormant within all of us. Taking the form of a dialogue between the Buddha and his cousin Ananda, it is based on the premise that even committed disciples can fall back into the world of sensual desire (and consequently of suffering) if their understanding and practice of the Dharma is incomplete. #ad Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
