description: In the Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha explains to one of his disciples, Ananda, the nature of mind, matter and awareness. He also explains the methods of practice and the results of practice, including stages of attainment and levels of rebirth. In this volume, the second of eight volumes, the Buddha reveals to Ananda the true, perfect, original mind, which is not the conscious mind that humans use on a daily basis. The Buddha uses the example of the "seeing nature" to show that the original mind does not move and cannot be destroyed.
