May we suggest learning a couple lines a day from the text file, and
following along the audio file the best you can? It has taken others
days, weeks, months, or in some cases, even years to learn Shurangama Mantra
by heart. The length of time varies with individuals, but all the
same, the key is to be persistent. If you ever get stuck on a line or
need help, feel free to contact a branch Way-place near you. (Check
the list of branches on our home page, or search the
DRBA or
DRBA Chinese web
pages.) |

Some quick tips on pin yin |
- "q" is pronounced like
"ch",
- "x" like "sh",
- "zh" like
"j"
- "ai" like the word
"eye",
- "ao" like the
"ou" in the word
"out"
- "e" like the "e" in the word "earl', e.g., e,
he and zhe; or like
"eh", e.g., ye, jie, qie and xie,
- "i" like "ee",
- "o" like
the word "awe",
- "u" like "w" or "oo", e.g., duo and pu;
or like the word
"you", e.g., ju.
Take the first six lines for example::
1) NA MO SA DAN TUO
("MO" is pronounced "m-awe"; "TUO" is pronounced "t-w-awe",
not "2")
2) SU QIE DUO YE
("QIE" = "ch-ee-eh";
"DUO" = "d-w-awe"; "YE" = "y-eh")
3) E LA HE DI
("E" = the "e" in the word "earl'; "HE" = the "he"
in the word "her"
but not the word "he"; "DI" = "dee")
4) SAN MIAU SAN PU TUO XIE
("MIAU" = "m-ee-ou", that is "ou" as in "out";
"XIE" = "she-ee-eh")
5) NA MO SA DAN TUO
(same as line 1)
6) FO TUO JU ZHI SHAI NI SHAN
"FO" = "f-awe";
"JU" = "j-you"; "ZHI"
= "jee", "SHAI" = "sh-eye"; "NI" =
"n-ee" just like the word "knee")
