The Sutra of Golden Light provides guidance for how individuals may direct their actions toward purifying the mind, and generating peace through their practice. Dated to the middle of the fifth century, and popularized by the famous scholar and pilgrim I-tsing, The Sutra of Golden Light is sometimes called the "king of sutras," as it explains the "chain of causation" through which the essence of the Buddha's teachings are established according to manifestation rather than through inquiry only.
