About The Book

<p>The sixteen sutras in this book are English translations of texts selected from the Chinese Buddhist Canon. Thirteen of them have never before been published in book form. The translator's introduction to Buddhist doctrine provides an organized background for readers at all levels to better understand and appreciate the teachings in these sutras which cover a wide range of interesting topics. For example in Sutra 1 the Buddha teaches karmic requitals and how one can avoid or mitigate unfortunate requitals. In Sutra 6 He predicts that long after His Dharma has perished the next Buddha Maitreya will bring the Dharma back to this world. In Sutra 13 the Buddha reveals the mystery of consciousness giving a detailed description of one's rebirth according to karmic force. In Sutra 14 He declares the eternity of nirvana and one's Buddha nature. In Sutra 16 He affirms that one's great compassion for all sentient beings will quickly lead one to Buddhahood.</p> <p>These English translations are easy to read and Buddhist terms are explained in the glossary. One can read this book for pleasure or study it for spiritual development. One can also recite the sutras prayers and mantras as a spiritual practice.
