LIGHT AND LIFE

Lars Olof Bjorn 1976

Page 197

"By writing the 26 letters of the alphabet in a certain order one may put down almost any message (this book 'is written with the same letters' as the Encyclopaedia Britannica and Winnie the Pooh, only the order of the letters differs). In the same way Nature is able to convey with her language how a cell and a whole organism is to be constructed and how it is to function. Nature has succeeded better than we humans; for the genetic code there is only one universal language which is the same in a man, a bean plant and a bacterium."

HISTORY OF GOD

Karen Armstrong 1993

The God of the Mystics

Page 250

"Perhaps the most famous of the early Jewish mystical texts is the fifth century Sefer Yezirah (The Book of Creation). There is no attempt to describe the creative process realistically; the account is unashamedly symbolic and shows God creating the world by means of language as though he were writing a book. But language has been entirely transformed and the message of creation is no longer clear. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is given a numerical value; by combining the letters with the sacred numbers, rearranging them in endless configurations, the mystic weaned his mind away from the normal connotations of words."

THE SEARCH FOR THE SIGMA CODE

Cecil Balmond 1998

Cycles and Patterns

Page 165

Patterns

"The essence of mathematics is to look for patterns.

Our minds seem to be organised to search for relationships and sequences. We look for hidden orders.

These intuitions seem to be more important than the facts themselves, for there is always the thrill at finding something, a pattern, it is a discovery - what was unknown is now revealed. Imagine looking up at the stars and finding the zodiac!

Searching out patterns is a pure delight.

Suddenly the counters fall into place and a connection is found, not necessarily a geometric one, but a relationship between numbers, pictures of the mind, that were not obvious before. There is that excitement of finding order in something that was otherwise hidden.

And there is the knowledge that a huge unseen world lurks behind the facades we see of the numbers themselves."

 

 

FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS

A QUEST FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END

Graham Hancock 1995

Chapter 32

Speaking to the Unborn

Page 285

"It is understandable that a huge range of myths from all over the ancient world should describe geological catastrophes in graphic detail. Mankind survived the horror of the last Ice Age, and the most plausible source for our enduring traditions of flooding and freezing, massive volcanism and devastating earthquakes is in the tumultuous upheavals unleashed during the great meltdown of 15,000 to 8000 BC. The final retreat of the ice sheets, and the consequent 300-400 foot rise in global sea levels, took place only a few thousand years before the beginning of the historical period. It is therefore not surprising that all our early civilizations should have retained vivid memories of the vast cataclysms that had terrified their forefathers.
Much harder to explain is the peculiar but distinctive way the myths of cataclysm seem to bear the intelligent imprint of a guiding hand.l Indeed the degree of convergence between such ancient stories is frequently remarkable enough to raise the suspicion that they must all have been 'written' by the same 'author'.
Could that author have had anything to do with the wondrous deity, or superhuman, spoken of in so many of the myths we have reviewed, who appears immediately after the world has been shattered by a horrifying geological catastrophe and brings comfort and the gifts of civilization to the shocked and demoralized survivors?
White and bearded, Osiris is the Egyptian manifestation of this / Page 286 / universal figure, and it may not be an accident that one of the first acts he is remembered for in myth is the abolition of cannibalism among the primitive inhabitants of the Nile Valley.2 Viracocha, in South America, was said to have begun his civilizing mission immediately after a great flood; Quetzalcoatl, the discoverer of maize, brought the benefits of crops, mathematics, astronomy and a refined culture to Mexico after the Fourth Sun had been overwhelmed by a destroying deluge.
Could these strange myths contain a record of encounters between scattered palaeolithic tribes which survived the last Ice Age and an as yet unidentified high civilization which passed through the same epoch?
And could the myths be attempts to communicate?

A message in the bottle of time"

'Of all the other stupendous inventions,' Galileo once remarked,

what sublimity of mind must have been his who conceived how to communicate his most secret thoughts to any other person, though very distant either in time or place, speaking with those who are in the Indies, speaking to those who are not yet born, nor shall be this thousand or ten thousand years? And with no greater difficulty than the various arrangements of two dozen little signs on paper? Let this be the seal of all the admirable inventions of men.3

If the 'precessional message' identified by scholars like Santillana, von Dechend and Jane Sellers is indeed a deliberate attempt at communication by some lost civilization of antiquity, how come it wasn't just written down and left for us to find? Wouldn't that have been easier than encoding it in myths? Perhaps.
Nevertheless, suppose that whatever the message was written on got destroyed or worn away after many thousands of years? Or suppose that the language in which it was inscribed was later forgotten utterly (like the enigmatic Indus Valley script, which has been studied closely for more than half a century but has so far resisted all attempts at decoding)? It must be obvious that in such circumstances a written / Page 287 / legacy to the future would be of no value at all, because nobody would be able to make sense of it.
What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them - and the city of Teotihuacan may be the calling-card of a lost civilization written in the eternal language of mathematics.
Geodetic data, related to the exact positioning of fixed geographical points and to the shape and size of the earth, would also remain valid and recognizable for tens of thousands of years, and might be most conveniently expressed by means of cartography (or in the construction of giant geodetic monuments like the Great Pyramid of Egypt, as we shall see).
Another 'constant' in our solar system is the language of time: the great but regular intervals of time calibrated by the inch-worm creep of precessional motion. Now, or ten thousand years in the future, a message that prints out numbers like 72 or 2160 or 4320 or 25,920 should be instantly intelligible to any civilization that has evolved a modest talent for mathematics and the ability to detect and measure the almost imperceptible reverse wobble that the sun appears to make along the ecliptic against the background of the fixed stars..."

"What one would look for, therefore, would be a universal language, the kind of language that would be comprehensible to any technologically advanced society in any epoch, even a thousand or ten thousand years into the future. Such languages are few and far between, but mathematics is one of them"

THE DEATH OF GODS IN ANCIENT EGYPT

Jane B. Sellars 1992

Page 204

"The overwhelming awe that accompanies the realization, of the measurable orderliness of the universe strikes modern man as well. Admiral Weiland E. Byrd, alone In the Antarctic for five months of polar darkness, wrote these phrases of intense feeling:

Here were the imponderable processes and forces of the cosmos, harmonious and soundless. Harmony, that was it! I could feel no doubt of oneness with the universe. The conviction came that the rhythm was too orderly. too harmonious, too perfect to be a product of blind chance - that, therefore there must be purpose in the whole and that man was part of that whole and not an accidental offshoot. It was a feeling that transcended reason; that went to the heart of man's despair and found it groundless. The universe was a cosmos, not a chaos; man was as rightfully a part of that cosmos as were the day and night.10

Returning to the account of the story of Osiris, son of Cronos god of' Measurable Time, Plutarch takes, pains to remind the reader of the original Egyptian year consisting of 360 days.

Phrases are used that prompt simple mental. calculations and an attention to numbers, for example, the 360-day year is described as being '12 months of 30 days each'. Then we are told that, Osiris leaves on a long journey, during which Seth, his evil brother, plots with 72 companions to slay Osiris: He also secretly obtained the measure of Osiris and made ready a chest in which to entrap him.

The, interesting thing about this part of the-account is that nowhere in the original texts of the Egyptians are we told that Seth, has 72 companions. We have already been encouraged to equate Osiris with the concept of measured time; his father being Cronos. It is also an observable fact that Cronos-Saturn has the longest sidereal period of the known planets at that time, an orbit. of 30 years. Saturn is absent from a specific constellation for that length of time.

A simple mathematical fact has been revealed to any that are even remotely sensitive to numbers: if you multiply 72 by 30, the years of Saturn's absence (and the mention of Osiris's absence prompts one to recall this other), the resulting product is 2,160: the number of years required, for one 30° shift, or a shift: through one complete sign of the zodiac. This number multplied by the /Page205 / 12 signs also gives 25,920. (And Plutarch has reminded us of 12)

If you multiply the unusual number 72 by 360, a number that Plutarch mentions several times, the product will be 25,920, again the number of years symbolizing the ultimate rebirth.

This 'Eternal Return' is the return of, say, Taurus to the position of marking the vernal equinox by 'riding in the solar bark with. Re' after having relinquished this honoured position to Aries, and subsequently to the to other zodiacal constellations.

Such a return after 25,920 years is indeed a revisit to a Golden Age, golden not only because of a remarkable symmetry In the heavens, but golden because it existed before the Egyptians experienced heaven's changeability.

But now to inform the reader of a fact he or she may already know. Hipparaus did: not really have the exact figures: he was a trifle off in his observations and calculations. In his published work, On the Displacement of the Solstitial and Equinoctial Signs, he gave figures of 45" to 46" a year, while the truer precessional lag along the ecliptic is about 50 seconds. The exact measurement for the lag, based on the correct annual lag of 50'274" is 1° in 71.6 years, or 360° in 25,776 years, only 144 years less than the figure of 25,920.

With Hipparchus's incorrect figures a 'Great Year' takes from 28,173.9 to 28,800 years, Incorrect by a difference of from 2,397.9 years to 3,024.

Since Nicholas Copernicus (AD 1473-1543) has always been credited with giving the correct numbers (although Arabic astronomer Nasir al-Din Tusi,11 born AD 1201, is known to have fixed the Precession at 50°), we may correctly ask, and with justifiable astonishment 'Just whose information was Plutarch transmitting'

AN IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT

Of course, using our own notational system, all the important numbers have digits that reduce to that amazing number 9 a number that has always delighted budding mathematician.

Page 206

Somewhere along the way, according to Robert Graves, 9 became the number of lunar wisdom.12

This number is found often in the mythologies of the world. the Viking god Odin hung for nine days and nights on the World Tree in order to acquire the secret of the runes, those magic symbols out of which writing and numbers grew. Only a terrible sacrifice would give away this secret, which conveyed upon its owner power and dominion over all, so Odin hung from his neck those long 9 days and nights over the 'bottomless abyss'. In the tree were 9 worlds, and another god was said to have been born of 9 mothers.

Robert Graves, in his White Goddess, Is intrigued by the seemingly recurring quality of the number 72 in early myth and ritual. Graves tells his reader that 72 is always connected with the number 5, which reflects, among other things, the five Celtic dialects that he was investigating. Of course, 5 x 72= 360, 360 x 72= 25,920. Five is also the number of the planets known to the ancient world, that is, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus Mercury.

Graves suggests a religious mystery bound up with two ancient Celtic 'Tree Alphabets' or cipher alphabets, which as genuine articles of Druidism were orally preserved and transmitted for centuries. He argues convincingly that the ancient poetry of Europe was ultimately based on what its composers believed to be magical principles, the rudiments of which formed a close religious secret for centuries. In time these were-garbled, discredited and forgotten.

Among the many signs of the transmission of special numbers he points out that the aggregate number of letter strokes for the complete 22-letter Ogham alphabet that he is studying is 72 and that this number is the multiple of 9, 'the number of lunar wisdom'. . . . he then mentions something about 'the seventy day season during which Venus moves successively from. maximum eastern elongation 'to inferior conjunction and maximum western elongation'.13

Page 207

"...Feniusa Farsa, Graves equates this hero with Dionysus Farsa has 72 assistants who helped him master the 72 languages created at the confusion of Babel, the tower of which is said to be built of 9 different materials

We are also reminded of the miraculous translation into Greek of the Five Books of Moses that was done by 72 scholars working for 72 days, Although the symbol for the Septuagint is LXX, legend, according to the fictional letter of Aristeas, records 72. The translation was done for Ptolemy Philadelphus (c.250 BC), by Hellenistic Jews, possibly from Alexandra.14

Graves did not know why this number was necessary, but he points out that he understands Frazer's Golden Bough to be a a book hinting that 'the secret involves the truth that the Christian dogma, and rituals, are the refinement of a great body of primitive beliefs, and that the only original element in Christianity- is the personality of Christ.15

Frances A. Yates, historian of Renaissance hermetisma tells, us the cabala had 72 angels through which the sephiroth (the powers of God) are believed to be approached, and further, she supplies the information that although the Cabala supplied a set of 48 conclusions purporting to confirm the Christian religion from the foundation of ancient wisdom, Pico Della Mirandola, a Renaissance magus, introduced instead 72, which were his 'own opinion' of the correct number. Yates writes, 'It is no accident there are seventy-two of Pico's Cabalist conclusions, for the conclusion shows that he knew something of the mystery of the Name of God with seventy-two letters.'16

In Hamlet's Mill de Santillarta adds the facts that 432,000 is the number of syllables in the Rig-Veda, which when multiplied by the soss (60) gives 25,920" (The reader is forgiven for a bit of laughter at this point)

Thee Bible has not escaped his pursuit. A prominent Assyriologist of the last century insisted that the total of the years recounted
mounted in Genesis for the lifetimes of patriarchs from the Flood also contained the needed secret numbers. (He showed that in the 1,656.years recounted in the Bible there are 86,400 7 day weeks, and dividing this number yields / Page 208 / 43,200.) In Indian yogic schools it is held that all living beings exhale and inhale 21,600 times a day, .multiply this by 2 and again we have.the necessary 432 digits.

Joseph Campbell discerns the secret in the date set for the coming of Patrick to Ireland. Myth-gives this date-as.- the interest-
ing number of AD.432.18

Whatever one may think-of some of these number coincidences, it becomes. difficult to escape the suspicion that many signs (number and otherwise) -indicate that early man observed the results.. of the movement of Precession . and that the-.transmission of this information was .considered of prime importance.

'With the awareness of the phenomenon, observers would certainly have tried for its measure, and such an endeavour would
have constituted the construction-of a 'Unified Field Theory' for nothing .less than Creation itself. Once determined, it would have been information worthy of secrecy and worthy of the passing on to future adepts.

But one last word about mankind's romance with number coincidences.The antagonist in John Updike's novel, Roger's Version, is a computer hacker, who, convinced.,that scientific evidence of God's existence is accumulating, endeavours to prove it by feeding -all the available scientific information. into a comuter. In his search for God 'breaking, through', he has become fascinated by certain numbers that have continually been cropping up. He explains them excitedly as 'the terms of Creation':

"...after a while I noticed that all over the sheet there seemed to hit these twenty-fours Jumping out at me. Two four; two,four.Planck time, for instance, divided by the radiation constant yields a figure near eight times ten again to the negative twenty-fourth, and the permittivity of free space, or electric constant, into the Bohr radiusekla almost exactly six times ten to the negative twenty-fourth. On positive side, the electromagnetic line-structure constant times Hubble radius - that is, the size of the universe as we now perceive it gives us something quite close to ten to the twenty-fourth, and the strong-force constant times the charge on the proton produces two point four times ten to the negative eighteenth, for another I began to circle twenty-four wherever it appeared on the Printout here' - he held it up. his piece of striped and striped wallpaper, decorated / Page 209 / with a number of scarlet circles - 'you can see it's more than random.'19
This inhabitant of the twentieth century is convinced that the striking occurrences of 2 and 4 reveal the sacred numbers by which God is speaking to us.

So much for any scorn directed to ancient man's fascination with number coincidences. That fascination is alive and well, Just a bit more incomprehensible"

OF TIME AND STARS

Arthur C. Clarke 1972

FOREWORD

"'Into the Comet' and 'The Nine Billion Names of God' both involve computers and the troubles they may cause us. While writing this preface, I had occasion to call upon my own HP 9100A computer, Hal Junior, to answer an interesting question. Looking at my records, I find that I have now written just about one hundred short stories. This volume contains eighteen of them: therefore, how many possible 18-story collections will I be able to put together? The answer ­as I am sure will be instantly obvious to you - is 100 x 99. . . x 84 x 83 divided by 18 x 17 x 16 ... x .2 x 1. This is an impressive number - Hal Junior tells me that it is approximately 20,772,733,124,605,000,000.

The Nine Billion Names of God


'This is a slightly unusual request,' said Dr Wagner, with what he hoped was commendable restraint. 'As far as I know, it's the first time anyone's been asked to supply a Tibetan monastery with an Automatic Sequence Computer. I don't wish to be inquisitive, but I should hardly have thought that your - ah - establishment had much use for such a machine. Could you explain just what you intend to do with it?'
'Gladly,' replied the lama, readjusting his silk robes and carefully putting away the slide rule he had been using far currency conversions. 'Your Mark V Computer can carry out any routine mathematical operation involving up to ten digits. However, for our work we are interested in letters, not numbers. As we wish you to modify the output circuits, the machine will be printing words, not columns of figures.'
'I don't quite understand. . .'
'This is a project on which we have been working for the last three centuries - since the lamasery was founded, in fact. It is somewhat alien to your way of thought, so I hope you will listen with an open mind while I explain it.'
'Naturally.'
'It is really quite simple. We have been compiling a list which shall contain all the possible names of God.'
'I beg your pardon?'

Page16

'We have reason to believe,' continued the lama imperturbably, 'that all such names can be written with not more than nine letters in an alphabet we have devised.'
'And you have been doing this for three centuries?'
'Yes: we expected it would take us about fifteen thousand years to complete the task.'
'Oh,' Dr Wagner looked a little dazed. 'Now I see why you wanted to hire one of our machines. But what exactly is the purpose of this project?'
The lama hesitated for a fraction of a second, and Wagner wondered if he had offended him. If so, there was no trace of annoyance in the reply.
'Call it ritual, if you like, but it's a fundamental part of our belief. All the many names of the Supreme Being - God Jehova, Allah, and so on - they are only man-made labels. There is a philosophical problem of some difficulty here, which I do not propose to discuss, but somewhere among all the possible combinations of letters that can occur are what one may call the real names of God. By systematic permutation of letters, we have been trying to list them all.'
'I see. You've been starting at AAAAAAA . . . and working up to ZZZZZZZZ . . .'
'Exactly - though we use a special alphabet of our own. Modifying the electromatic typewriters to deal with this is, of course, trivial. A rather more interesting problem is that of devising suitable circuits to eliminate ridiculous combinations. For example, no letter must occur more than three times in succession.'
,'Three? Surely you mean two.'
'Three is correct: I am afraid it would take too long to explain why, even if you understood our language.' "

Page 68

Into the Comet


"Pickett's fingers danced over the beads, sliding them up and down the wires with lightning speed. There were twelve wires in all, so that the abacus could handle numbers up to 999,999,999,999 - or could be divided into separate sections where several independent calculations could be carried out simultaneously.
'374072,' said Pickett, after an incredibly brief interval of time. 'Now see how long you take to do it, with pencil and paper.'
There was a much longer delay before Martens, who like most mathematicians was poor at arithmetic, called out '375072'. A hasty check soon confirmed that Martens had taken at least three times as long as Pickett to arrive at the wrong answer.
The atronomer's face was a study in mingled chagrin, astonishment, and curiosity.
'Where did you learn that trick?' he asked. 'I thought those things could only add and subtract.'
'Well - multiplication's only repeated addition, isn't it? All I did was to add 856 seven times in the unit column, three times in the tens column, and four times in the hundreds column. You do the same thing when you use pencil and paper. Of course, there are some short cuts, but if you think I'm fast, you should have seen my granduncle. He used to work in a Yokohama bank, and you couldn't see his fingers / Page 69 / when he was going at speed"

THE

DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

 

 

Hair Soundtrack Lyrics, Lyrics - Aquarius Lyrics. ... The age of Aquarius Aquarius!Aquarius! Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding ... www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/hair/Aquarius.htm - 9k

 

 

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

 

 

It was December, 1955, and Martin Luther King, Jr. had just received his doctorate degree in ....

Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!"

... exchanges.state.gov/education/engteaching/mlkbday.htm

The "old negro spiritual" Dr. King referred to in his famous speech is "Free At Last."

 

 

Free At Last

Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.

The very time I thought I was lost,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
My dungeon shook and my chains fell off,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
This is religion, I do know,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
For I never felt such a love before,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HISTORY OF GOD

Karen Armstrong

The God of the Mystics

THE

BOOK OF CREATION

"THERE IS NO ATTEMPT MADE TO DESCRIBE THE CREATIVE PROCESS REALISTICALLY

THE ACCOUNT IS SYMBOLIC AND SHOWS GOD CREATING THE WORLD BY MEANS OF LANGUAGE

AS THOUGH WRITING A BOOK BUT LANGUAGE ENTIRELY TRANSFORMED

THE MESSAGE OF CREATION IS CLEAR EACH LETTER OF THE ALPHABET IS GIVEN A NUMERICAL

VALUE BY COMBINING THE LETTERS WITH THE SACRED NUMBERS

REARRANGING THEM IN ENDLESS CONFIGURATIONS

THE MYSTIC WEANED THE MIND AWAY FROM THE NORMAL CONNOTATIONS OF WORDS"

THE DIAMOND SUTRA

"The Sanskrit title of this Sutra is Vajracchedika Sutra. It is Number 9 of the Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, the author of which is unknown. It was written in the First Century and has been translated into the Tibetan and Chinese a number of times. This translation was made from Kumarajiva's trans­lation from the Sanskrit into Chinese (384-417 A.D.) by Bhik­shu Wai-tao and Dwight Goddard in 1935.
Its theme is that all definitive things, phenomena and ideas are subjective and unreal, being merely manifestations of one's own mind; that even the highest conceptions of the Dharma and of Tathagata are mind-made and "empty." Max Muller writes of it, "In contradistinction to fallacious phenomena, there is the true essence of mind; underlying the phenomena of mind there is unchanging principle." Based upon this theme, the Sutra teaches how to practice the Six Paramitas.
At some time in its literaty history the "leaves" of the text nust have become displaced for it is at present in a confused development. The editor has numbered the sections according to the original order, and then has re-arranged them to pre­sent the Scripture in as readable and logical an order as possible.

SCRIPTURES SELECTED FROM SANSKRIT SOURCES


THE SURANGAMA SUTRA

The name of this Sutra is usually translated, The Buddha's Great Crown Sutra, being an Elucidation of The Secret of the Lord Buddha's Supreme Attainment, and the Practice of all the Bodhisattvas. It was originally written in Sanskrit by an unknown writer during the First Century A.D. It was trans­lated from the Sanskrit into Chinese by the Great Indian / Page 662 / Master Paramartha about 717 A.D. The English translation was made by Bhikshu Wai-tao and Dwight Goddard, during the years 1935-1937. The part presented here is only about one-third of the original text, the balance being omitted for various reasons. For instance, Chapter Three is omitted be­cause it is obviously an "extension" by some lesser scribe. Chapters Five and Six are omitted because, while evidently being by the same author, the theme and treatment are quite different and independent.
The most important of these omissions, however, is that of the Great Dharani itself. At the time at which the Sutra was written and for many years afterwards it was probably its most important feature, and it is still chanted with great emotion in all Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese Monasteries. In omitting" it from this English version the reader is entitled to a few words o£ explanation.
In the first place let us have a clear idea of what a dharani is. It is a more or less mean:ngless chain of words or names that is supposed to have a magical power in helping the one who is repeating it at some time of extremity. It may be very short, like the Sanskrit word "aum," which the Tibetans repeat ad infinitum, or it may be very long, like this one we are now considering, or the one in the Lankavatara Sutra. Generally, however, they are quite short like the one in the Prajna-Paramita-Hridaya Sutra:-"Gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha." A Dharani is supposed to embody the quintessence of the spiritual power emanating from some great teacher or spiritual benefactor. It is a kind of carrier for spiritual "radio-activity," an appeal for "absent treatment." A great Master or Bodhisattva gives his instruction under quiet conditions with a sincere purpose of enlightening and benefiting his disciples, but in times of extremity when his Master is absent and the disciple feels his strength failing, he is encouraged by repeating the name and words of his Master. Doubtless there is a measure of superstition in its practice, but there is also a great deal of practical usefulness and provable value in it.
All religions have had their Dharani. The Pure Land Buddhists repeat:- "Namo Omito Fu" more or less constantly. The Nichiren Buddhists repeat:-"Nemo myoho renge kyo," in which case its repetition holds the mind to the superlative spir­/ Page 663 / itual power inherent in The Lotus of the Wonderful Dharma Scripture. The Mohammedans repeat in the same fashion the words:-"Allah is one God and Mohammed is his Prophet." Christians, whether they are conscious of it or not, in repeating the Lord's Prayer, are repeating a Dharani in which they have implicit faith. They are not thinking so much of the meaning of the words as they are voicing their faith in the supernal power of the Heavenly Father. Catholics have a num­ber of these Dharani, "the Pater Noster," "Ora Pro Nobis," and "Ave Maria," for instance. Even the benediction, "In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen," and the various creeds, the Nicean, and the Alexandrian, are used as Dharani, as is seen by the fact of the general dislike of altering or amending them.
In omitting this long Dharani, therefore, we are not deprecating the great reality of the Spiritual Power that it symbolizes, nor are we denying its practical usefulness in serving to concentrate the mind's attention; in fact, in thus explaining at length why we omit it, we are emphasizing its basic value in holding a disciple's attention to the true source of Power in which by this practice of repeating Dharani he is identifying his spirit. Our Sutra is wholly given up to establishing the fact that this boundless Potentiality of Spiritual Power is resident in the Mind's Pure Essence, to which all appeal, whether in calm or tempest should be made.
The following Preface and Introduction was prepared for the English Version by Bhikshu Wai-tao and Dwight Goddard. It is here given in full.
The author and date of this profound Scripture, that is commonly known by its Sanskrit name, THE SURANGAMA Sutra, and by its Chinese name Ta Fo Ting-shou Leng Yen Ching
(Buddha's Great Crown Sutra), is unknown, but it was undoubtedly written in Sanskrit about the First Century of the Christian Era. It was highly regarded by the kings of Southern India as being of supreme value for the protection of their country and they issued orders forbidding it to be carried out of their domains with the death penalty for anyone who should attempt it.
When the great Hindu Master Paramartha felt that the time had arrived for the propagation of this profound teaching in the great and powerful Empire of China, it is said that / Page 664 / he made a gash in his arm and secreted the Sutra in the wound, which probably meant that he concealed it in the lining of his sleeve, and thus carried it safely by sea to South­ern China. There he met an exiled Minister of State of the Tang Dynasty, by the name of Wang Yung, who aided him in translating it into Chinese. This was in the First Year of the Emperor Chien-Lung, about 717 A.D., it taking two years to do the work. The fact becoming known to the Chinese Em­peror, he sent Censors to enquire into the matter who reported that the writing was of such importance that the translation ought not to have been undertaken without first getting the approval of the Government. The exiled Minister was punished and Paramartha was obliged to return to his native Country taking the Sanskrit text with him. How the transla­tion was preserved is unknown.
Since the transmission of this wonderful Scripture to China, it has always been venerated by Buddhists of all Sects, and even the great among Taoist scholars have treated it with re­spect and studied it with care. Would that this English Version might receive the same respect in the English-reading world which it has received for two thousand years in the Orient.
The theme of the Sutra unfolds the necessary steps for at­taining Supreme Enlightenment and Highest Samadhi. It is presented in the form of instruction given by the Blessed One to a great assembly of Bhikshus and highest Bodhisattva-Ma­hasattvas and especially to his favorite Bhikshu, Ananda, who had recently been unable to resist the lure of a prostitute, and by asking him questions, leads up to an elucidation of his own crowning experience of Highest Samadhi. In the course of the instruction there are seen many miraculous visions of glory radiating outward from the personality of the Lord Buddha and just as marvelously returning inward to rest upon his brow in a crown of glory.
The Sutra gives in great detail and precision the necessary mental preparation and steps that must be followed in the practice of Dhyana (concentration of mind and intuitive insight) for the attainment of Supreme Enlightenment. The successive steps are given in such detail and are so intelligently interpreted that if faithfully followed from their beginning in / Page 665 counting the breaths to their goal, one will surely attain Enlightenment and Samadhi.
The Sutra is divided into three main divisions corresponding to the three aspects of Dhyana, namely, (1) Steps relating to the aspect of tranquillizing the mind by the exclusion of all concepts originating in the senses and all discriminating thoughts based upon them. (2) The subjective aspect of intuitive realization of Truth itself, which is known as Samadhi.
(3) The aspect known as Samapatti which is concerned with the transcendental graces and powers that are revealed in Supreme Enlightenment and made available by Samadhi.
In the first division the author brings out clearly the differ­ent components that make up the different activities of the mind and condition its manifestations, namely, the sense organs, the discriminating mind, the intellectual mind, their sen­sations, interactions and reactions, the six kinds of perceptions and conceptions, the twelve locations of contact between consciousness and its objects, the eighteen spheres of mentation down through the various sense-minds, sense-objects, the ob­jects themselves, and finally the relation of the objects to the four great elements. He brings out the difference between false imaginations of the discriminating mind and the true knowl­edge of Essential Mind. By so doing he indicates and proves incontrovertibly the emptiness, transiency and unreality of all sense-originated concepts and all their combinations and permutations.
He then shows that because of arid by means of these nu­merous divisions of manifestations and all dualistic thinking about them, the natural mind falls into a labyrinth of illusions which makes up the continuum of consciousness and its world of sentient beings and their accumulation of conditioning karmas. However, as all these causes and conditions are simply visions in the air, by one right attainment of intuitive realization the mind breaks through the entanglement of illusions and unveils its true nature of Enlightenment. This is the First Great Lesson for the Practice of intuitive meditation known as Dhyana.
After the mind has discarded all its dependence upon these entangling illusions and has gained confidence in its true and essential Mind, the Sutra teaches its Second Great Lesson:­ / Page 666 / the attainment of Samadhi, which is the subjective aspect, or the intuitive realization of the intrinsic and eternal and per­fectly unified nature of Essential and True Mind. The Sutra shows the source of vexations and how to untangle the knots that are made up by the six kinds of conceptions and rein­forces the lesson by asking the great Disciples to relate their different experiences in untangling the knots in their own minds during their individual progress in realization and the attainment of Samadhi. It shows the extreme individuation among sentient beings and their worlds of experience and then sets forth the sixty transcendental powers available for the arduous practice of attainment. It points out advantageous ways for attaining the requisite control of mind and finally reveals the Great Dharani, or mystic combination of names and words, that symbolizes the power of his own supreme experience. It shows the six great realms of existence from the highest realm of spontaneity and freedom to the lowest of inconceivable bond­age and sufferings. And then he shows the unreality of all these conceptions (naiva-samjnana-samjna-yatana) and the inconceivable unity and purity of Truth itself.
The Third Great Lesson has to do with the attainment of Highest Perfect Wisdom (anuttara-samyak-sambodhi) and the dangers originating in the evil Maras that beset its attainment even in heavenly places. As his parting gift of advice to his disciples and to all future disciples, he gives them ways by which these evil influences lurking in the conceptions arising from the five senses and the six sense-minds may be avoided and the supreme attainment realized by one's own efforts, but when that fails, by faith in the transcendental power of the Great Dharani.
It is Buddha's great gift to us that the teaching of this great Sutra has been preserved to our time. We may no longer listen to the charm of the Buddha's voice, but we may still study and meditate upon his teaching as elucidated in this wonderful Scripture. We must preserve it and pass it on even to the last kalpa for the benefit of all future beings. For the more scientifically trained minds of our Western World, its culminating resort to faith in a Great Dharani seems irrational and superstitious and negating the more important lesson of self-responsibility and self-effort. For that reason it is omitted in this Version. But in a deeper sense of embodying within / Page 667 / its symbolic structure the intrinsic power of the inner working of the Ultimate Spiritual Principle that is drawing all sentient beings into some perfect Unity that is both Highest Perfect Wisdom and All-embracing Compassion, it is most profoundly true and our feeble efforts of self-help must always at last re­sort be supplemented by an appeal in faith to the Transcend­ental Power of the Self-nature of Truth itself as embodied and made available in the supreme experience of Shakyamuni Buddha.
If any good and earnest disciple, be he man or woman, with pure faith observes, studies and puts in practice this great Teaching, should he later become entangled in the five defilements of this evil world, but still keep up his practice of con­centration of mind, he will surely be delivered and will move forward in the enjoyment of a life of purity, joy and tranquillity, to its goal in Samadhi."

 



SELECTIONS FROM SANSKRIT SOURCES

THE SURANGAMASUTRA

Page 271
"Then Ananda bowed down to the feet of the Lord Buddha :lnd said:-My Noble Lord! The reason I have not yet attained perfect Emancipation from arbitrary conceptions of phe­nomena, since becoming thy disciple, is because of my pride in being known as thy favorite cousin and because of my excep­tional learning, so when I was brought under the spell of the old woman's magic, in spite of the conscious purpose of my mind, I was unable to free:: myself from it. Fortunately my Lord sent Brother Manjusri to deliver me by means of the spiritual power of my Lord's Great Crown Dharani. Unfor­tunately I had not mastered it and now pray; My Lord, to kindly repeat it again so that I and all the other practicing dis­ciples in this assembly and, through us, all the disciples of the future who are still in the cycle of deaths and rebirths, shall all become free in both mind and body in the time of danger.
The whole audience having heard Ananda's sincere plea to the Lord, rose from their seats and made obeisance to the Lord and then waited attentively to hear the Lord's sacred Dharani. As they waited in solemn silence there appeared a most won­derful sight. From the crown of the Blessed One's head there streamed forth a glorious splendor in the likeness of a wonder ful lotus blossom, and in the midst of the abundant foliage and seated in the cup of the blossom was the Lord Tathagata's Nirmanakaya (appearance body). From the crown of the Lord's head there radiated outward uncounted beams of light that shot outward in all the ten directions, and in each of the bright beams of light were figures of transcendently mysterious Vajra­gods permeating everywhere in the open spaces of the universes and suggesting the lightning-like potencies of all the transcendental powers. Each of the Vajra-gods was standing upright and alert with his symbol in his hand, ready and waiting but already victorious.
The assembly was transported with awe and fear and admiration. With one spontaneous movement their hearts went forth in an adoring prayer for its blessed, compassionate, and protective Providence to guard them from its awful but Beneficent Power.
As the vision faded away, the great assembly remained in solemn silence waiting to hear the Lord's Transcendental Dha­rani. The Lord Buddha standing in their midst, Brightness / Page 272 / and Power radiating from the crown of his head, uttered the Great Crown Dharani. *

* Then follows several pages of the long and mysterious Dharani made up of Sanskrit words, Chinese paraphrases, names of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Deva­gods, etc., more or less of obscure meaning, all of which but the opening and closing lines are omitted. The lines in capital letters is considered the "heart" of the long Dharani and is commonly the part that is remembered and recited by those who cannot remember the whole.

(Final Words)
When the Lord finished his recitation of the Great Crown Dharani, he resumed his instruction to Ananda, saying:- This mysterious Agadha Dharani of Siddhartha Pdara which is the quintessence of the Brightness and Power raying out from the Lord Buddha's Crown is One with the Brightness and Power emanating from all the Buddhas in all the ten quarters of all the universes. It is the Sambhogakaya} the Bliss-body of Buddhahood, radiantly Wise and Potential and ceaselessly Compassionate drawing all sentient life into its All-embracing Wholeness and Unity and Peacefulness. It was by means of / Page 274 / this Transcendental Power, the quintessence of The Lord Buddha's Perfect Samadhi and Boundless Samapatti, that all the Tathagatas, past, present and future, of all the universes had attained Anuttara Samyak SambodhiJ had been able to subdue all the Maras and heretics, were sitting on their thrones in the Glorious Lotus Blossoms and forever giving response to the needs of all sentient life in all the kingdoms of existence, past, present and future.
By means of it all the Tathagatas were ceaselessly turning the Wheel of the Intrinsic Dharma; by means of it all the Tathagatas were in close fellowship with each individual dis­ciple, comforting, encouraging, guiding, strengthening; no matter how immature disciples may be, they would be given assurance of their ultimate attainment of Buddhahood. By means of it, all the 'Tathagatas of the ten quarters have been able to give deliverance to those unfortunate disciples whose karma has brought them into suffering, even into the suffering of the lowest hells where are the hungry demons. Much more have been able by means of it to support and comfort the disciples in the midst of their common suffering of blindness, deafness and dumbness, the cruelty of enemies, separation from beloved ones, unfulfilled wishes, and the suffering arising from the ungratified desires of the five sense-ingredients. By means of it all the Tathagatas have been able to protect the disciples from harm by natural calamities, from war and robbery and famine and imprisonment; from violent storms, conflagrations, floods, drought, poverty. Whenever this Great Dha­rani is recited in faith, every suffering must give way and come to an end.
By means of it all the Tathagatas have supported the great Masters, to give their lectures with spontaneity and correctness, to supply their money necessities, to protect them from harm whether walking sitting or lying down, and to bring them to places of honor among the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas as Princes of the Lord's Dharma. By means of it all the Tathagatas have been able to encourage beginners among the disciples, and those who have become frightened by the difficulties of the profound teachings of the Dharma.
By means of it all the Tathagatas have been able to attain their own Supreme Enlightenment, each under his own Spiritual Bodhi-tree, and finally to attain their Great Nirvana. And / Page 275 / by means of this Great Dharani, after the passing of the Tatha­gatas, to consign to all disciples the duty and privilege of the practices of the Dharma so that it shall continue permanently in existence and the Precepts strictly observed and the disciples living in purity.
Should any disciple from morning until evening recite this Great Dharani without any omissions or additions, his merit will be unlimited even after innumerable kalpas. Should any of the practicing disciples who have not yet cut off their con­cern with deaths and. rebirths, seriously attempt to attain Arhatship and to practice dhyana, without first relying on the power of this Great Dharani, it would be hopeless for him to avoid the deceptions and machinations of the Maras.
Ananda, should any sentient beings in any of the kingdoms of existence, copy down this Dharani on birch-bark or palm­leaves or paper made of papyrus or of white felt, and keep it safely in some scented wrapping, this man no matter how faint­hearted or unable to remember the words for reciting it, but who copies it in his room and keeps it by him, this man in all his life will remain unharmed by any poison of the Maras.


(NOTE. From now on the litemry style changes from the convincing ra­tional character it has had and becomes more or less superstitious, irmtional, unconvincing, and, to us of a more scientific age, is useless for our present purpose of winning by its spiritual power followers for the Lord Buddha. It is an example that is frequent in the Buddhist literature of the same apparent age, of "extending" or amplifying the text by including or interpolating additional matter that some less capable scribe thinks to be worth adding.
At this point we are about two-thirds through the Text, in the midst of the Second Chapter, the balance of which is omitted. Chapter III is also omitted. Chapter IV is very short and is given entirely. It is devoted to the title of the Sutra and might well have been the end. Chapter V is devoted to a mythical description of the Seven Realms of Existence and is omitted. Chapter VI, while being more appropriate, also gives one the impression that it is something added. All but the closing paragraph is omitted.

A BUDDHISTS BIBLE

Edited by Dwight Goddard

1966

SUMMARY OF BUDDHA'S DHARMA

Page 656

NIRVANA

"But after a Bodhisattva attains the eighth stage there is thereafter "no more recension," and he goes on to the attainment of highest perfect Wisdom which constrains him, instead of passing to Nirvana, to return to the Saha world of Ignorance and suffering for its liberation and enlightenment. Hence the saying in the Lankavatara Sutra:

"FOR BUDDHAS THERE IS NO NIRVANA."

Page 273
