What are Sutras?

The Sutras are written texts of Buddha’s teachings recorded from the time of the Buddha and preserved in its purity until today. These texts offer us precious insights into Buddha’s mind and when we contemplate on and apply these holy thoughts, we stand to reap great positive results both in the short and long term.

Such is the importance of the Buddha’s immaculate speech that it is a necessary item to be placed on our altars. By doing so, we create the causes for us to achieve the speech of a Buddha complete with its sixty qualities. More importantly, it also create the causes for us to realise the inner and subtle meanings of the holy Sutras, which then become the foundation of our attainments.

What are Mantras?

Mantras are representations of the Buddha’s enlightened energy in the form of sound. When we have them in written form, we tap into their enlightened energies and access the protection we can gain from them.

Having a sacred mantra in written or any form will help calm the environment and the people living therein. This was stated by Buddha himself that wherever there’s a holy text of the Buddha Dharma, protective deities will be present to protect the scripture and its surroundings.
