bradley Posted Monday at 07:58 AM How about The Diamond Sutra and The Sutra of Hui-neng? https://www.shambhala.com/the-diamond-sutra-and-the-sutra-of-hui-neng-496.html?srsltid=AfmBOopZRp8ESekI32yRr1kpdLx9ojL8L8DTKUGsgw06VNVfpNkr1jB2 The Diamond Sutra was the first thing Buddhist I ever read (maybe six or seven years ago), and it instantly changed my perspective on everything. Also, I think I have read that Hui neng was, and continues to be, somewhat controversial. Interested if people have thoughts on that. I also learned a lot reading through the prajñāpāramitā sutras. Here is a translation of the 10,000 line one that I liked: https://84000.co/translation/toh11 Finally, one sutra that I continually go back to, and think about a lot, is a short Heap of Jewels sutra: https://84000.co/translation/toh118 The following interchange has stuck in my mind: Quote “Mañjuśrī, do you know the limit of reality?” “I do, Blessed One.” “Well then, Mañjuśrī, where is the limit of reality?” “Blessed One, the limit of reality is wherever my limit is. The limit of reality is wherever the phenomena of ordinary beings are not. The 84000 site is real interesting to browse through, interested what others think of that site. Also, I am no expert on any of this, so use at your own risk : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
