Master Hsuan Hua:
...Great Master Hongren, the Fifth Patriarch...decided to

- If there hadn’t been any
Shurangama Mantra in the Shurangama Sutra...there wouldn’t have

The History of Transmission &
Translation:
...[Great Master Zhi Yi] was moved to bow to the west in

Why do all conditioned appearances such as the mountains, the

fire and water can each pervade empty space with out displacing one another?

can they both pervade the dharma-realm?

五祖弘忍大師...忍不住了，就想要救這個城裏頭的老百姓...
...為什麼他說《楞嚴經》是假的呢？就因為《楞嚴經》把他所有的毛病都給說出來了，把他這種的邪知邪見都給說出來了...
...《楞嚴經》上如果沒有〈楞嚴咒〉，那根本就沒有因緣說《楞嚴經》。
...天臺智者大師聽這樣說法，於是乎他每一天每一天就向西方拜，叩拜求能看見這部《楞嚴經》的經典。一拜拜了十八年這麼長久，可是拜了十八年他也沒有看見過這一部《楞嚴經》。
...把這個臂割開，把這部經就放到肉的裏邊...

...釋迦牟尼佛行菩薩道去做鹿，做畜生。那麼釋迦牟尼佛管著五百鹿...
