Some Sutra Quotations I Translated
May 14, 2009
Profound, peaceful, free from elaboration, luminous, uncompounded:
Like deathless nectar is this Dharma that I have found.
Yet whoever I reveal it to, they will not understand, and so
Without speaking, in this very jungle I should remain.-Shakyamuni Buddha, after attaining enlightenment
***
The Medium-Sized Far-Reaching Perfection of Sublime Knowing states:
Subhuti! Those who wish to attain the state of all-knowingness, omniscience itself, should rely on virtuous spiritual teachers.
***
The Sūtra Requested by Ratnachūda states:
Devaputra! If you rely on and venerate a virtuous spiritual teacher, you will come to see everything as an innately pure buddha-realm. You will come to attain the sacred absorption of great compassion. You will never be separate from the far-reaching perfection of sublime knowing. You will come to accomplish the full ripening of all sentient beings. You will come to attain the utter fulfillment of all your hopes.
***
In The Going for Mindfulness of the Dharma Sutra, it states:
By relying on a virtuous spiritual friend, mindfulness and alterness will be completely pure, and the roots of virtue will be wholly consummated.

Jeremiah tells me you’re in Uniontown as a prelude to returning. We should abide in the whatnot together at some point before you go! Anyhow, I felt compelled to translate something myself recently…
