Sutra of Golden Light

Listen to this recitation in its entirety, best in meditative stillness and receptivity, the sublime, Golden Light Sutra. You may listen the Gold Light Sutra 1X or 108 times while washing dishes or working on a project. Download the Sutra and recite it all the way through at least one time during this lifetime. Often I will listen to the Sutra as a final practice at the end of each day.

Golden Light Sutra Chapters 1 to 7 (remember to listen all the way thru to Chapter 21 on YouTube).

I received the Pratimoksha and Bodhisattva vows from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama in 2015. I recite the Sublime Golden Light Sutra every day as Lama Zopa Rinpoche suggests. I wept when I first read the chapter ‘Confessions’ included in this audio. The sheer beauty and depth of the verses are incredible.

I will be glad to dedicate any merit from this practice to anyone who needs to solve a problem. Write to anita.saran@gmail.com.

As Lama Zopa points out, “If you have any problems in life, just hearing the name of the Golden Light Sutra can give protection and pacify those problems.”

May those who listen to this recitation have the causes of happiness and eliminate the causes of suffering.
