In the Words of the Buddha:
The Blessed One spoke:
"If those persons who have committed the five uninterrupted actions
even just hear this dharma-paryáya called
Sangháta, they
will completely exhaust and completely purify their karma of the five
uninterrupted actions, instantly and entirely. For countless hundreds
of thousands of myriad millions of eons, the doors to the lower realms
will be closed; the thirty-two doors to the devas’ worlds
will be
opened."

Stories and Experiences
Personal Encounters with the Sanghāta
Philip Ng Soon Heng sent in the following message, when
reporting the 47 times he has recited the Sanghāta Sūtra in
his home in Singapore.
I wish to report also that on one
evening while I was reciting the sutra, three little moths came to
listen to part of the sutra. They sat quietly on the wall next to me,
and listened attentively to the loud recitation of the Sanghāta Sūtra,
and then flew away after some time of listening to the recitation
intensively.
I am sure they will be reborn in the three upper realms. I was amazed
at the way they sat so attentively listening to my loud recitation.
I
intend to recite this Sanghāta
Sūtra as long as there is breath within
my body.
I know that many wonderful things will begin to happen in my
life as I continue my recitation of this Noble Mahāyāna Sanghāta Sūtra
Dharma Paryāya. I had already had a sickness cured. I
received the oral
transmission through my kind Guru Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche and I
would like to thank him for all benefits accruing to me because of the
recitation.
For a description of Lama Zopa Rinpoche's reaction when he was sent a
copy of the Sanghata Sutra that someone had written out by hand, click
