yesteday was the 6th seven day of my dad's passing. I recited the Ksitigarbha Sutra (地藏菩萨本愿经) it took almost 2 hours to complete but this time round it was quicker.
It was first translated from the Sanskrit into Chinese in the 7th century A.D. Tang Dynasty by the Tripitaka master Siktananda , a Buddhist monk from Khotan.
There are controversies around if this sutra was genuinely taught by the buddha. Some historians believe that this sutra was created by the chinese during the five dynasties and ten kingdom period. Nonetheless i believe in the power of this sutra, the fact that it is one of the most popular sutra in chinese buddhism proves its power.
