Chapter 7: The Buddha discusses the benefits of reciting, carrying, copying the Shurangama Mantra and then intricately describes different life forms in our Saha world and how they come into being.

In the Shurangama Sutra, the Buddha describes the nature of reality and mind consciousness by stripping Ananda of his attachment to the illusory body and mind before revealing the One Mind. To teach how this One Mind can be realized he asked twenty-five Bodhisattvas to describe the different methods by which each had attained Enlightenment.

Enlightenment in Mahayana Buddhism consists of transmuting the mind into the Great Mirror Wisdom. The Shurangama Sutra points directly at the Mind which when stirred by the first thought creates the basic illusion of an ego and splits the Whole into subject and object.
