Angulimala Sutra
Angulimala Sutra
Can anybody point me in the direction of a decent electronic version of the Mahayana Angulimala Sutra?
I am having real difficulties finding one.
Thanks (in advance)!

Greg,
It is NOT easy to find. This is Stephen Hodge's translation.
This is tathagatagarbha16/index.html ; change to tathagatagarbha17/index.html etc

Aṅgulimāla asked in verse:
Mañjuśrī the Dharma Prince, you are foremost in seeing the emptiness of dharmas.
What is meant by seeing that dharmas are empty?
What is meant by seeing that their emptiness is empty?
Speak now to resolve my doubts.
Mañjuśrī answered in verse:
Buddhas are like the open sky, which has no appearance of existence.
Buddhas are like the open sky, which has no appearance of birth.
Buddhas are like the open sky, which has no appearance of form.
Dharmas are like the open sky, and are a Tathāgata’s wondrous dharma body.
Wisdom is like the open sky, and is a Tathāgata’s great wisdom body.
A Tathāgata’s hindrance-free wisdom cannot be grasped or touched.
Liberation is like the open sky, which has no appearance of existence.
A Tathāgata’s liberation is empty and nonexistent.
How can you, Aṅgulimāla, understand this?
Life is great and death has to be just as great as life.

In this oral interpretation, he seems to be talking about an Advaitin point of view, not a Buddhist. Where in this sutra does the Buddha talk about the reality of Atman?Su DongPo wrote:I am searching, but no luck yet.

Sounds like a specific interpretation of the 2nd fascicle...Anonymous X wrote:In this oral interpretation, he seems to be talking about an Advaitin point of view, not a Buddhist. Where in this sutra does the Buddha talk about the reality of Atman?

EDIT:
The permanence of the body seems like fascicle 3:

The hungry ghost part is from 2nd fascicle, but not quite seeing the "unclean food" or "crow" reference.
Re: Angulimala Sutra
Dr. Pages' interpretation of Mahāyāna, the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, and his interpretation on ātman and anātman and tathāgatagarbha (you noticed where his interpretation is coming from or ending up, respectively) is very controversial and has been discussed before. So I would not give that much attention, it could end up in another useless discussion.Anonymous X wrote:In this oral interpretation, he seems to be talking about an Advaitin point of view, not a Buddhist.
