The Surangama (Shurangama) Sutra – A New Translation with Excerpts from the Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua
The Surangama Sutra, also known as the Shurangama Sutra, is a Mahayana Buddhist scripture that delves deep into the nature of consciousness, perception, and the workings of the mind. This profound text has been revered by Buddhists for centuries, offering profound insights into the true nature of reality and the path to enlightenment.
In this new translation of the Surangama Sutra, we are presented with the teachings and commentary of the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, a highly respected Buddhist monk and teacher. His insightful commentary sheds light on the profound teachings of the sutra, making them accessible and applicable to our modern lives.
Here are a few excerpts from the commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua:
– “The true nature of our mind is pure and luminous, but it is clouded by the dust of delusion and ignorance. Through diligent practice and cultivation, we can uncover this pure nature and attain enlightenment.”
– “Our perception of reality is distorted by our attachments and desires. By letting go of these attachments and observing the true nature of our mind, we can see things as they truly are.”
– “The practice of mindfulness and meditation is essential for cultivating wisdom and compassion. By training our mind to be present and aware, we can overcome the obstacles to enlightenment and attain true liberation.”
The Surangama Sutra, with the commentary by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, offers a profound and transformative guide to understanding the nature of reality and the path to enlightenment. This new translation is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist teachings and enhance their spiritual practice.
