Talk:Shurangama Mantra

Untitled
This article on the Shurangama Mantra should not be deleted. Why? Because after Om Mani Padme Hum and the Great Compassion Mantra, this is the third most popular Buddhist mantra in East Asian Buddhism (China, Vietnam, Japan and Korea)

It is not plagiarism, since I am the author (redactor-compiler) of the scholarly redaction of "Student Notes" found at http://bhaisajyaguru.com/namo-dharma/Nagarjuna_005_Shurangama-White-Umbrella-Goddess_Avalokiteshvara_She-Dan-Doe-Bo-Da-La_Shitapatra-Devi.doc -- which is the website of the Buddhist Ayurveda College that I am the Director of).

That "Student Notes" on the Shurangama Mantra is a rough draft compilation (redaction) of many original Buddhist scriptural (sutra and shastra source materials from the Chinese, Tibetan and Indian mahayana paramita tradition and from the vajrayana mantra tantra tradition and is referenced in a scholarly APA-MLA way where appropriate. It is meant for the use of the Buddhist Ayurveda students (and is not copyrighted, but is copyleft as are all of the textual materials on the site) at our Institute and will eventually be published once edited and redacted in a more extensive way as a Creative Commons share and share alike or Public domain work in the next 24 months which I hope to publish as a Wiki style linked text in the public domain as appropriate.

Additionally, I have granted permission to copy material already on line on http://www.bhaisajyaguru.com by having put that permission explicitly on the site where that material is posted. This is commonly known as a "copyleft" notice. This notice must state that "The text only (but not audios, videos, graphics or pictures) of this website is Copyleft available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)."

I will work on updating the article to add additional MLA-APA inline references to original Buddhist scriptures over the next week (to be completed before September 18th, 2009).

Thank you for your patience. Bhikshu Nagarjuna (talk) 08:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC) Bhikshu Nagarjuna (do I need to reveal my actual name?)


 * Please continue to work over the article, and to resolve the copyright issue explicitly. For the moment we can accept your good faith as author and copyright originator. It would though be better if you rendered the text into our typical style with inline referencing by the tag, as already occurs in the article. I have untagged the article on the understanding that a future version will be clearly compatible with our content policy and standards. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I’ve tried reading Timothy Leary’s Psychedelic Experience
I think the book has some ties to this topic but it’s very difficult to get through due to transliteration of the Bardo Thödol
