The Complete Sutra of Golden Light

The Sugatagarbha Translation Group\'s Project to Translate and Distribute. - The Extensive Sūtra of Golden Light: The 29 and 31 Chapter Versions\r\n\r\nAt the beginning of the Sutra of Golden Light, Buddha Shakyamuni calls to anyone experiencing misery and affliction, bad health, poverty, loss, abuse, ill will, fear, nightmares, or other harms. He says to make the mind virtuous and to come and listen to the Sutra of Golden Light. \r\nThis “Sovereign King of Sutras” contains everything needed, from daily happiness to complete Enlightenment. It contains a heart-rending practice of confession and rejoicing, profound teachings on dependent arising, reliable assurances of protection, guidelines for ideal government, and awe-inspiring stories of the Buddha’s previous lives, in which the Buddha shows how, even before he had completely eliminated the delusions, he liberated countless beings from the ocean of suffering through compassion and personal courage. The Sutra of Golden Light moves us to do what has to be done and clearly describes the result.
