Therefore, the practitioner,
After the Buddha’s extinction,
On hearing this Sutra,
Should not give rise to doubts,
But should, with a single mind,
Extensively proclaim this Sutra,
So that life after life he may meet the Buddhas
And quickly realize the Buddha Way.”
Lotus sutra- chapter 20
Miss La Sen is reading SHURANGAMA SUTRA
”When
the wonderful perfection is completely true, that essential truth brings about
a transformation. They go beyond the beginningless habits to reach the one
essential brightness. Relying solely on this essential brightness, they
progress toward true purity. This is called the Mind of Vigor. 7:31
”The essence of the mind reveals itself as total wisdom; this
is called the Mind that Resides in Wisdom. 7:32
”As the wisdom and brightness are held steadfast, a profound
stillness pervades. The stage at which the majesty of this stillness becomes
constant and solid is called the Mind that Resides in Samadhi. 7:32
”The light of samadhi emits brightness. When the essence of
the brightness enters deeply within, they only advance and never retreat. This
is called the Mind of Irreversibility. 7:35
SHURANGAMA SUTRA
“Moreover,
Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, in the future good men or women
may have to enter mountain forests, cross rivers, seas, or other large bodies
of water, or take dangerous routes either for the sake of earning their own
livelihood, or for public or personal affairs, matters of life and death, or
other urgent business.
Such people
should first recite the name of Earth Store Bodhisattva a full ten thousand
times.
The ghosts and
spirits of the lands they pass through will then guard and protect them in
their walking, standing, sitting, and lying down.
The peace and
happiness of those people will constantly be preserved, so that even if they
encounter tigers, wolves, lions, or any other harmful or poisonous creatures,
they will not be harmed.”
The Buddha told Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, “Earth Store Bodhisattva has deep affinities with beings in Jambudvipa.
The Buddha told Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, “Earth Store Bodhisattva has deep affinities with beings in Jambudvipa.
Hundreds of
thousands of eons would not be time enough to describe the benefits derived by
beings who see this Bodhisattva and hear his name.
Therefore,
Contemplator of the World’s Sounds Bodhisattva, you should use your spiritual
powers to propagate this sutra, thus enabling beings in the Saha world to enjoy
peace and happiness always, throughout hundreds of millions of eons.”

THE DIAMOND SUTRA
(VAJRACCHEDIKA
PRAJNAPARAMITA SUTRA)
Kinh Kim Cương
If via form (one)
looks for the Tathagata
Or via the sound of
the voice beseeches me,
This person walks a
corrupt path.
And is unable to
recognize the Tathagata.
[Tìm ta qua hình sắc
Cầu ta qua âm thanh
Là kẻ hành tà đạo
Không thể thấy Như
Lai.]
ALL OF THE EXISTENT, CONDITIONED DHARMAS
ARE LIKE DREAMS, ILLUSIONS, BUBBLES, SHADOWS;
LIKE DEW AND ALSO LIKE LIGHTNING:
THUS SHOULD THEY BE CONTEMPLATED."
[Tất cả pháp hữu vi
Như mộng huyễn bào ảnh
Như sương mờ điện chớp
Hãy quán chiếu như
thế.]
