  • Introducing a Good Book for Investigating the Shurangama Mantra (Part IV)
    Bodhi Field Introducing a Good Book for Investigating the Shurangama Mantra (Part IV) BY WANG QINGNAN, PH.D. ENGLISH TRANSLATED BY BHIKSHUNI HENG YI 5) One can take refuge with the Thirty-seven Sages. These are the Thirty-seven Sages of the Vajradhatu Mandala. 6) There are horizontal and vertical meshings of all syllabaries. The above two paragraphs are very important. After reading this book, have we gained any benefits? We can check ourselves based on the above list item by item. 4. What are the categories of mantras? What are the fundamental disci- plines one must follow when practicing a secret dharma door? How to deal with demonic obstacles? The formal explanation on the mantra text starts after the section of “the subtle principles of mantra translation”. The mantra text is divided into five sections, which is the same as what we ordinarily see. Each section is divided into several subsections. Basically each subsection corresponds to a dharma (there are exceptions). In the end of each section, there is a summary. For example, the sum- mary for the first section is: The secret dharma in the first section can be expanded into 12 subsections. 1. Triple Jewel; Three Vehicles (na mwo sa dan two - di bwo dwo nwo nan) 2. Three Realms; Brahma, Shakra (na mwo ti pe li shai nan - na mwo yin two la ye) 3.

  • The Flower Adornment Sutra
    The Flower Adornment Sutra Chapter Forty, Universal Worthy's Conduct and Vows with commentary by Tripitaka Master Hua SUTRA: Before the lamps of the worlds of the ten directions, Those who first accomplished Bodhi, I now request and beseech them all To turn the foremost, wondrous Dharma wheel. If there are Buddhas who wish for Nirvana, I request with deep sincerity That they dwell in the world for as many kalpas as there are dust motes in kshetras To bring benefit and bliss to every being. I worship those with blessings, praise them and make offerings; I request that the Buddhas remain in the world and turn the Dharma wheel; The good roots gained from following and rejoicing in merit and virtue, and from repentance and reform, I transfer to living beings and the Buddha way. I follow and rejoice in merit and virtue, Repent of and reform my karmic faults, Then transfer these good roots as well as blessings, That living beings might soon reach Buddhahood. I study with the Buddhas and practice The perfect conduct of Universal worthy; I make offerings to all the Thus Come Ones of the past And to all present Buddhas throughout the ten directions. All future teachers of gods and men Whose aspirations to joy have been completed I'll follow in study throughout the three periods of time And quickly attain great Bodhi. COMMENTARY: Before the lamps of the worlds of the ten directions. The ten directions include everything; they are the Dharma Realm, and the Dharma Realm is the ten directions.

    IELD F ODHI B Introducing a Good Book for Investigating the Shurangama Mantra (Part I) BY WANG QINGNAN, PH.D. ENGLISH TRANSLATED BY BHIKSHUNI HENG YI MWO HE SA DAN DO BO DA LA TWO LO NI JOU I remember the first time I met the Venerable Master, he said to us all who were present, “You all may ask any questions that you have.” At that time I was totally unaware of the Venerable Master’s level, so I did not even think of asking any questions. Later he asked me, “What are your thoughts on the Shurangama Sutra?” Although I felt that the phrase, “Myriad Prac- tices of Bodhisattvas,” in the title of the Sutra seemed not to have been fully elaborated, I did not express my thoughts. At that time, I understood all the Sutras through Chan contemplation of the Theravada’s Four Foun- dations of the Mindfulness. While thinking of the strictness of the precepts 28 B ODHI F concerning the Four Unalterable Instructions on Purity, I dared to utter a IELD remark, “Master, it is too strict!” The Venerable Master looked at me without saying anything. His expression seemed to say that I did not have enough determination. In the blink of an eye, twelve years have passed; I also gained a new understanding of the Shurangama Sutra. We all know that the Shurangama Mantra holds in store the secrets of heaven and earth. Mantras fall within the Five Kinds of Terms Not Translated. In the past when the Shurangama Sutra was translated, the Shurangama Mantra was not translated.

  • 452F-Bodhi Field -32-41 Hyin.P65
    Bodhi Field Introducing a Good Book for Investigating the Shurangama Mantra (Part III) BY WANG QINGNAN, PH.D. ENGLISH TRANSLATED BY BHIKSHUNI HENG YI 10) We know which part is the Heart of the Mantra. And, if we constantly recite this Mantra and become concentrated, we can see our nature and understand our mind and open up great wisdom. 11) We understand the seals of the mantra--the Three Dharma seals. If we can hold and recite the Shurangama Mantra from memory, at the very least we can, for seven lives, be one of the wealthiest people in the world. 12) The spiritual penetrations and transformations from this Mantra can trans- form the myriad things, and none can comprehend it. So some people say, “I recite this Mantra, but not for wealth and honor.” If you don't want to recite this Mantra for wealth and honor, you can recite it to obtain spiritual powers, and you'll get those spiritual powers. If you recite it in order to obtain enlightenment and wisdom, you’ll get wisdom. You will obtain whatever you want. It’s not that you will only obtain blessings and wealth from it. 13) We will know the vow-power of the Mantra. The intent of this Mantra is whatever you seek. Whatever vows we make, we will be able to accomplish them. 14) We will know the spells cast by the Mantra, which bring about calamities or blessings. You can recite the mantra with the intent of bringing disaster down on someone, but you shouldn't have this kind of thought.

In the previous volume, the Buddha demonstrated that the source of ignorance lies with the six organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. In “The Six Knots”, the Buddha shows how these six ‘knots’ actually originate from the same source. The Buddha also shows that they must be untied in sequence, one after another. In the “Twenty-five Means to Enlightenment”, the Buddha then enquires of those in the assembly which ‘knot’ allowed them entry to perfect penetration.
