ReplyDeleteI am interested in an 'interpretation' and analysis of the Surangama Mantra. I can't seem to find ANY anywhere... I was told there was one by one organization, but they told me it didn't exist. I found out later that people use the mantra as a 'magic' power source and the sangha was worried that people would misuse it. I am sad to hear that this mantra, that is used in the morning ceremonies of (some) Mahayanist monasteries is 'closed' to the public. If you could help me source more information I would appreciate it.
