Synopses & Reviews
This book is a commentary on one of the first sutras translated from Sanskrit into Chinese. The Sutra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings is pure and simple indeed: the English text is less than two pages. But if one could grasp these eight ideas, one would certainly be a Great Being. As such, the Master writes, "The Sutra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings is a mature compendium of the main ideas of Mahayana Buddhism."
