Looking for Books That Expand Your Perspective
Stories With a Truly Free, Clear-Headed, and Rational Heroine
They don't fight over men. Their abilities extend beyond the narrow confines of their household. Palace and domestic battles always revolve around men, and whenever trouble arises, they think of relying on one man or another to solve it. They rely on themselves and take their fate into their own hands. They aren't lovesick or boy-crazy, and they live freely, making their own decisions.

The author is very talented, and some things are really eye-opening. Congratulations to the author
It is easy to understand, hits the nail on the head, points directly to people's hearts, benefits sentient beings, and has immeasurable merits! Amitabha!
I have read many versions of the Surangama Sutra, and this one is my favorite. Thanks to Master🙏 for his explanation, I have learned a lot. I will continue to work hard
I've read half of it. This is a spiritual guide on the path to return home after many lifetimes explained by a great master who has insight and attained spiritual enlightenment. Thanks, praise. After reading this Dharma summary for the first time today, I wrote a short verse to summarize the key points of the great virtue's enlightenment for all sentient beings: The verse says: One mind opens two doors. The empty door and the false door are originally the same root, but the world's people can't. The five yin and eighteen realms are separated by causes and conditions. The false door is combined to control whether there is any appearance. If you enter the false door with just one thought, life and death will flow forever. If you want to cultivate your true nature, your earthly mind will turn to Buddhism. How to enter Buddhism is just a thought. After turning around, you will see false emptiness, and there will be no more inversions. Since the mind has no abode, it will eventually reach nirvana. Don't look at where ignorance comes from? How it comes is ignorance. Don't think why do you move because of ignorance? Why does it move? It is ignorance. Don't think about how true it is? How to be is ignorance. This is the end of the speech path, the cessation of mind and conduct, as long as you know that ignorance is false, the world is false, the true nature is true, and the true nature has no form, that is the complete enlightenment of Bodhi. All non-attachment means emptiness, reality has no form and nothing but nothing, and non-attachment means meaninglessness. Those who see the shadow can see it, and those who see the flower can see it. Seeing the shadow is false, how can the empty flower be real? Furthermore, when you see a shading, it is neither a shading nor a flower. The original clarity of awareness is the original awareness. The nebula is what you see. The original clear nature of your awareness is pure and pervades everything. If you don't move, the nebula arises when you pinch your eyes for no reason. What you see is false. How can the original clear cloud be achieved? Yi is called ignorance, and original clarity is the wonderful function of the true self-nature. Why is it that I see the waves in my eyes circling again and again, seeking the reality of the flowers in my view, trying to find the nebula that is born and disappearing in my eyes and taking it as reality, and the waves in my eyes are the whole tide that exhausts Yingbo? If you don't see eyes and emptiness, there is no enlightenment. If you don't let go of the flowers in the shadow, they are neither eyes nor emptiness. But seeing the dim view, the clear eyes, the sea of eyes, that is perfect enlightenment, that is the Shurangama Concentration, that is enlightenment, that is the Buddha, that is entering the True Suchness, that is, entering the one true Dharma Realm. Non-attachment means no doubt, no delusion, no greed, no anger, no arrogance, no harsh words, no idle speech, no idle talk, no lies, no killing, no stealing, and no lewdness. Why? No self, no birth, no thoughts, no abiding, no appearance. The one who has no self will be re-opened as a bodyless self-grasping, unable to hold on to the self. There is no birth, no attachment to birth. Those who have no thoughts have no attachment to thoughts. There is no abiding, no abiding. Those who have no phase have no phase attachment. When pinching the flowers, there is no reason for pinching, and the pinching moves without any reason. The shade has no birth, the shade has no appearance, the shade has no residence, the shade has no self, the flower has no birth, the flower has no appearance, the flower has no residence, and the flower has no self. What's the reason for holding on? Where did the pinch come from? How can we explain the causes and conditions of the shadow to cause the image to be stained? How can flowers come out of karma? Where and when will He Zhihua reappear? But I understand that everything is inherently pure, perfect, and complete. I have no desires or pursuits. My thoughts are continuous and my thoughts are not attached. The whole body is yes and the whole body is wrong. I don't try to differentiate between the phenomena of birth and death. All birth and death are equal and undifferentiated. There is no coming or going. It is self-sufficient. All dharmas, all appearances, all conditions, all causes, all effects, all retributions, all stages, all divisions, all doings, all forces, all, all, all, only one mind and one nature, all-encompassing, all-inclusive, nothing outside, nothing inside, nothing inside, nothing outside, one, everything is one. Namo's master, Sakyamuni Buddha! May this merit be returned to all dharma realms, be accepted and followed by all, and enter Shurangama concentration together!
Very good book
Easy to understand, very patient explanation, even people with low education can understand it
I have seen many teachers teach the Surangama Sutra. This book is the best for me. It is easy to understand and makes me feel suddenly enlightened.
The content is comprehensive, and it is written in vernacular, easy to understand, and it is really eye-opening. Those who want to learn F must read this sutra. After learning Shurangama, it will be easy to understand other things.
