Sutra of the Platform

The Sutra of the Platform (Ljatang Faxiang) is a foundational Buddhist text that outlines the philosophical view of the Yogācāra school, emphasizing that all experiences are shaped by our consciousness. It teaches that our perceptions create the illusion of a separate, external world, and through understanding this, we can achieve enlightenment by transforming our mind. The sutra highlights the interconnectedness of perception and reality, encouraging practitioners to recognize the nature of their awareness to overcome ignorance and attain spiritual liberation.
