I've been away for the weekend meditating, it's nice to come home, & see you've noticed this Sutra. I wish you all the blessings from it.

Reading Sutras is always a blessing. Eternal and universal wisdom. Passed on from Buddha to Buddha.

 

Namaste, my awakened online pal.

I read this sutra for the first time a couple of weeks back and it blew me away.

I've read a few Buddhist sutras over the years but this is totally different.

It speaks of itself throughout the text giving various ways in which to read, recite, copy, translate, revere, give praise to, meditate, visualize etc.

Totally transformative, but a long read ( 3 hours from start to finish! ).

You can break it up, which I did into three sittings.

Apparently, the best results come from reciting aloud, especially in the presence of other living beings ( whether humans, pets, insects or other animals).

I'll give this a try sometime.

What a treasure.

It makes me wonder how many of these as yet untranslated (or undiscovered) teachings are out there.
