《楞嚴經》是僞經嗎？
Is the Shurangama Sutra an Inauthentic Sutra
《楞嚴經》無法不備，無機不攝，是一代法門的精髓，成佛作祖之正印。
Every dharma is found within the Shurangama Sutra, so there are no potentials it fails to attract. It is the essential Dharma for all generations: It is the right seal for becoming a Buddha or a Patriarch.
憨山大師曾經說過這樣的兩句話：「不讀《法華》，不知如來救世之苦心；不讀《楞嚴》，不知修心迷悟之關鍵。」的確是這樣的情形，因爲《楞嚴經》無法不備，無機不攝，乃是一代法門的精髓，成佛作祖之正印。所以參禅打坐的人，必須要熟讀研究這部經，才能明悉「五十種陰魔」的境界，不會上魔王的圈套。否則，境界認識不清，不管什麼境界來臨，就執著它，便容易入魔境，成爲魔王的眷屬。這是一件十分危險的事！
The Great Master Han Shan (Silly Mountain) once said: "Unless you read the Lotus Sutra, you won”t know of the pains the Thus Come One took to save the world. Unless you read the Shurangama Sutra, you won”t know the key to cultivating the mind and awakening from confusion." This says it exactly right, because every dharma that exists is found within the Shurangama Sutra, so there are no potentials it fails to attract. It is the essential Dharma for all generations: It is the right seal for becoming a Buddha or a Patriarch. A Chan cultivator must thoroughly master this text and understand the Fifty Skandha-demon States that it explains, in order to escape the snares of the demon-kings. Otherwise, he won”t recognize states when they arise, and he will become attached to them and join the retinue of demons. This is extremely dangerous!
不但〈楞嚴咒〉要背得出來，就是《楞嚴經》也要背熟。所謂「熟能生巧」，到時候便有無窮的受用，有不可思議的感應。凡是研究中國文學的人，《楞嚴經》是必讀之書，因爲此經文辭優美，義理豐富，是一部最理想的經典。
We want to be able to recite the Shurangama Mantra from memory, and we also want to memorize the Shurangama Sutra. As the saying goes, "Familiarity leads to expertise." When the time comes, we will gain infinite advantages and inconceivable responses. Anyone who studies Chinese literature simply must read the Shurangama Sutra. The literary quality of this Sutra is excellent, and its meanings are profound; it is the most perfect Sutra.
有些自命不凡的學者，對于佛學未曾深入研究，就認爲自己是佛學專家、佛學權威，似是而非，不徹底了解佛教的真谛，亂加批評，貿然提出《楞嚴經》是僞經的謬論。別有用心的人，就隨聲附和；這是盲從，實在可憐！
There are some pretentious scholars who possess no deep understanding of Buddhism and yet consider themselves experts in the field. They see themselves as authorities when they are not. Without a thorough grasp of the principles of Buddhism, they freely criticize the Shurangama Sutra, recklessly asserting that it is an inauthentic Sutra. Still others who may be more conscientious, nonetheless, parrot the false claims of the scholars, like the blind following the blind. The situation is truly pathetic!
爲什麼有人說，《楞嚴經》不是釋迦牟尼佛所說的法門呢？因爲這部經所說的道理太真實了，把人的毛病說得太徹底了，令妖魔鬼怪、牛鬼蛇神，無法橫行，原形畢露。所以他們要故意破壞，宣傳是僞經，令大家不相信《楞嚴經》，他們才有生存的機會。如果承認是佛說的法，他們做不到。第一、對「四種清淨明誨」不能守，第二、對「二十五聖圓通」的法門不能修，第叁、不敢面對「五十種陰魔」的境界。
Why would anybody claim that the Shurangama Sutra was not spoken by Shakyamuni Buddha
It”s because the principles explained in this Sutra are simply too true. They thoroughly describe people”s problems, thus preventing the goblins, demons, "cow-faced ghosts," and "snake-bodied spirits" from running amok and exposing them for what they are. That”s why certain inpiduals defame the Sutra by claiming that it is fraudulent, destroying people”s faith in the Shurangama Sutra so that they themselves have a chance to survive. If they acknowledged that the Sutra was, in fact, spoken by the Buddha, they would have no way to follow its Dharma. First, they cannot uphold the Four Unalterable Aspects of Purity. Second, they cannot cultivate the Dharma-doors of Perfect Penetration of the Twenty-five Sages. Third, they cannot face the Fifty States of the Skandha-demons.
如果人人讀《楞嚴經》，明白《楞嚴經》，外道的神通則失去靈光，毫無效用，使人不再相信他有神通。所以天魔外道只好妄言破壞，大肆宣傳，說《楞嚴經》是僞經。
If everyone reads the Shurangama Sutra and understands it, then the spiritual powers of the externalists will lose their magical gleam; they will seem powerless and people will no longer …
