Introduction

This book offers an accessible yet detailed interpretation of rebirth doctrine in the Śūraṅgama Sūtra, focusing on the relationship between consciousness, karmic causation, ethical conduct, meditative discipline, and the attainment of enlightenment. Drawing upon Mahāyāna teachings while incorporating Pāli and Sanskrit concepts, Dr. Bhikkhunī Giới Hương presents the cycle of birth and death as arising from ignorance of the true nature of mind and attachment to sensory and psychological phenomena. The study is particularly valuable for readers seeking to understand how the Śūraṅgama Sūtra integrates precepts, meditation, wisdom, mantra practice, Buddhist cosmology, and the doctrine of tathāgatagarbha into a coherent path leading from delusion and rebirth toward purification and Buddhahood.
