Regrettably, without an approved English translation, the teachings in this crucial sutra and their explanations have not been available to English-speaking readers.

The eminent Pure Land master, Venerable Master Chin Kung, who has lectured over a dozen times on the sutra, once selected sixty excerpts from it, explaining, "The excerpts are the essence. Whether one reads them or listens to lectures on them, one will be greatly inspired to learn and practice them.

A book to be studied over and over again. A book filled with wisdom and teachings. Shows one how to purify our mind, body and speech thereby helping us to be born in the Western Pure Lands where we can bypass the six paths of cyclical existence and live in lands where we can purify our souls to reach Buddhahood.

To the practitioner, reading these 60 excerpts is the same as reading the entire Sutra, giving the modern mind a far easier way to grasp there deep truths .
