This colloquial translation of “The Sutra of Ksitigarbha’s Fundamental Vows” is an ancient 7th century Buddhist sutra most relevant to a chaotic time like now and to distressed people like us in this troubled world. “Ksitigarbha” means “Earth Treasury” and reflects the hidden treasures in the minds and hearts of all of us sentient beings. Through His great kindness and mercy, before the Buddha went into nirvana, He entrusted us to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Mahasattva as the sole rescuer for this earth and this era. May this sutra bring you peace, calm as well as inspiration!
