Amitayurdhyana Sutra & The Lankavatara Sutra

0/5 ( ratings)

AMITAYURDHYANA SUTRA
One of the three major Buddhist sutras found within the Pure Land branch of Mahayana Buddhism. Amitayus is another name for the buddha Amitabha, the preeminent figure in Pure Land Buddhism, and this sutra focuses mainly on meditations involving complex visualization.
Translated by Takakusu Junjiro, a Japanese academic, an advocate for expanding higher education opportunities, and an internationally known Buddhist scholar.

THE LANKAVATARA SUTRA
The most important doctrine issuing from the Lankavatara Sutra is that of the primacy of consciousness and the teaching of consciousness as the only reality. The sutra asserts that all the objects of the world, and the names and forms of experience, are merely manifestations of the mind. The Lankavatara Sutra describes the various tiers of consciousness in the individual, culminating in the "storehouse consciousness", which is the base of the individual's deepest awareness and his tie to the cosmic.
Translated by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, a Japanese author of books and essays on Buddhism, Zen and Shin that were instrumental in spreading interest in both Zen and Shin to the West.
