SUMMARY

This Sutra gives the most detailed explanation of the Buddha's teachings concerning the mind. It includes an analysis of where the mind is located, an explanation of the origin of the cosmos, a discussion of the specific workings of karma, a description of all the realms of existence, and an exposition on the fifty kinds of samadhi-concentrations, which, if we become attached to any of them, can delude us in our search for awakening. Also, in this Sutra, twenty-five enlightened sages explain the methods they used to become enlightened. The Venerable Ananda presents seven ideas on the location of the mind. The Buddha shows how each one is incorrect and then explains the roots of the false and the true.Tripitaka Master Hua is the author of 'Shurangama Sutra, Vol. 1', published 1977 under ISBN 9780917512179 and ISBN 0917512170.
