It can be found throughout the Mahayana canon, with specific references in more than 200 texts (Encyclopedia of Buddhism). In one such text, the Avatamsaka Sutra, the story is told of a wordless sutra, \"equal in extent to the universe, existing in each and every atom.\" What is this sutra? It is the Sutra of the Mind -- the embodiment of the tenet that \"everything is made from Mind alone.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so we come to a key teaching which underlies the entire Buddhist canon, in which Pure Land figures so prominently: to attain the Mind of Enlightenment, to become a Buddha, the first step is development of the Bodhi Mind - the aspiration to achieve Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. It is with this parting thought that we leave the reader, as we wish him a pleasant excursion into Buddha Recitation, a profound yet democratic form of Buddhist practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Buddha Educational Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46556119335153,"sku":"2940179911234","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/2940179911234_p0.jpg?v=1765910425","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940179911234","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
