Summary
s.1Initiated by the questions of the bodhisattva Candraprabhakumārabhūta, The Teaching on the Effulgence of Light consists of a series of teachings related to the lights emitted by awakened beings as manifestations of their spiritual achievements. Amid the display of his miraculous powers, the Buddha describes the specific qualities with which each of those lights is associated, and he repeatedly emphasizes the fact that such lights are a natural expression of the insight into the emptiness of all phenomena. The sūtra is also concerned with general themes such as the qualities required by followers of the Great Vehicle and the practice of generosity.
s.1由菩薩月光童子提出的問題所引發，《光明徧放經》包含了一系列與覺悟者所發出的光明有關的教授，這些光明是他們精神成就的表現。在展現他的神通的過程中，佛陀描述了這些光明各自所具有的特定品質，並且反覆強調這樣的光明是對一切法的空性之慧的自然流露。該經也關涉一般性的主題，例如大乘追隨者所需具備的品質和布施的修行。
