The Sutra of Golden Light

or

The Supreme Golden Light, the Sovereign King of Sutras

Selected chapters of the Suvarṇaprabhāsasūtram, or Suvarṇaprabhāsottamasūtrendrarājaḥ, translated from Sanskrit


Chapter 1 – Prologue

Chapter 2 – The Chapter on the Extent of the Lifespan of the Tathāgata

Chapter 3 – The Chapter on Confession

This translation is primarily based on Johannes Nobel’s 1937 edition of the Sanskrit text, but I have also referred to S. Bagchi’s 1976 edition, and in some instances prefered his version over Nobel’s.
