Dear Reader: 

This page was the precursor to the Shurangama Mantra page.  It seems this page continues to get regular visits, so we will not retire it as previously planned, but will continue to update it as long as you are finding it useful.  If you are new to this page and plan to bookmark it, would you please bookmark the Shurangama Mantra page instead?  Amitofo!

From "A Sure Sign of the Proper Dharma" by Venerable Master Hsuan Hua:

...Great Master Hongren, the Fifth Patriarch...decided to try to save the people in that city....

- Why will they say the Shurangama Sutra is spurious? Because the Shurangama Sutra tells about all their faults.  It discusses their kinds of deviant knowledge and deviant views....  

- If there hadn’t been any Shurangama Mantra in the Shurangama Sutra...there wouldn’t have been any reason to speak the Sutra....

The History of Transmission & Translation:

...[Great Master Zhi Yi] was moved to bow to the west in the hope that he would one day see this Sutra...every day for 18 years...

...[Dharma Master Paramiti] cut open his arm and placed the small scroll inside his flesh....

...“Which is more beautiful,” the Buddha asked [Sundarananda], “these monkeys or your wife Sundari?”

..Out of a horse’s belly into the womb of a cow. How many times back and forth have you passed by Yama’s halls, As you go from Shakra’s palaces down into Yama’s pot?

...Shakyamuni Buddha was a deer, the leader of a herd of 500....

If the nature of water is pervasive, then fire does not arise. Further, how do you explain that the natures of fire and water can each pervade empty space with out displacing one another?  ...the nature of earth is solid; the nature of emptiness is penetrating. How can they both pervade the dharma-realm?

五祖弘忍大師...忍不住了，就想要救這個城裏頭的老百姓...

...為什麼他說《楞嚴經》是假的呢？就因為《楞嚴經》把他所有的毛病都給說出來了，把他這種的邪知邪見都給說出來了...

...《楞嚴經》上如果沒有〈楞嚴咒〉，那根本就沒有因緣說《楞嚴經》。

 

...天臺智者大師聽這樣說法，於是乎他每一天每一天就向西方拜，叩拜求能看見這部《楞嚴經》的經典。一拜拜了十八年這麼長久，可是拜了十八年他也沒有看見過這一部《楞嚴經》。

...把這個臂割開，把這部經就放到肉的裏邊...

 

...佛就問孫陀羅難陀說：「你看這個猴子長得美麗啊？還是你的太太孫陀羅長得美麗呢？」

出馬腹入牛胎 閻王殿前幾度徊 始從帝釋殿前過 又到閻君鍋裏來

...釋迦牟尼佛行菩薩道去做鹿，做畜生。那麼釋迦牟尼佛管著五百鹿...

5. Verse of Dedication迴向偈

At the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, on Saturdays at the close of the Shurangama Mantra Recitation for World Peace, the following dedication verse is chanted:

 

Verse of Dedication

 

May these adornments and pure merit and virtue

Be dedicated to the Dharma protecting dragons and gods,

To the mountain and river spirits of the Three Realms,

And to the guardians who watch over our Sangharamas.

We pray that blessings, peace and goodness

Be an adornment to the Unsurpassed Bodhi,

Vowing that all--friends and foes--throughout the Dharma Realm

Will together enter the sea of Vairochana's nature.

 

萬佛城平時每星期六上午念楞嚴咒，念完後的迴向偈如下：

以此嚴淨功德  迴向護法龍天

三界嶽瀆靈聰  守護伽藍真宰

祈福保安平善  莊嚴無上菩提

普願法界冤親  共入毗如性海
