The Surangama Sutra: Twenty-Five Means to Enlightenment, Session Six, Part 6 of 7 April 8, 2019

“Thus Come Ones of the past perfected this method. Bodhisattvas now merge with this total brightness. People of the future who study and practice, will also rely on this Dharma. Through this method I, too, have been certified.” Manjusri. “Quan Shi Yin Bodhisattva was not alone in using it. As the Buddha, the World Honored One, requested, I choose sincerely a skill-in-means, to save those in the final aeon, Who seek to escape the mundane world, And perfect the heart of Nirvana, the best way is to contemplate the Sounds.” Meditating on the (inner Heavenly) Sound, the Sounds of the universe. The vibration that we are listening to every day. “All the other kinds of expedients Require the awesome spirit of the Buddha.” The Buddha’s blessing. Otherwise, not because of the touch, not because of the taste that they get enlightened. The Buddha, their Master, blessed them at that time.
