Shurangama Sutra

(in Vorbereitung) Das Shurangama Sutra (Sutra des Heldenhaften )ist ein Mahayana-Sutra ungeklärten Ursprungs, dessen chinesiche Übersetzung erhalten ist. Es wurde zu einem Haupttext der Zen-Schule. Das Sutra erklärt die verschiedenen Methoden der Leerheitsmeditation, durch die jeder Erleuchtung verwirklichen und ein Bodhisattva werden kann. Zusätzlich enthalten sind mehrere tiefsinnige moralische Erörterungen.

Diese Übersetzung aus den wesentlichen Teilen des Sutras stammt von Dr. Raoul von Muralt und wurde mit Einverständnis seiner Erben wieder aufgelegt.
