Colophon: This English translation from the Tibetan was prepared by Venerable Damchö
Diana Finnegan (Lhundup Damchö), after reading the text with Venerable Geshe
Lhundub Sopa and then comparing the Tibetan with the Sanskrit. In addition to the
invaluable assistance from Geshe Sopa, this translation was checked against the Tibetan
with occasional reference to the Chinese translations by Shenghai (Roy) Li, whose
copious suggestions vastly improved this translation. Proofreading and copy-editing was
offered in the final stage by Venerable Gyalten Mindrol. Many others generously
contributed to this text, but all faults are the translator’s. The translation was completed
on January 25, 2006, in the home of Lama Zopa Rinpoche in Aptos, California. Lama Zopa Rinpoche https://fpmt.org/ This edition was finalized, with typographical errors corrected, on August 31, 2006, in Visakhapatnam, India.

May the kindness of the Buddha, as embodied within this wondrous sutra, fill the hearts
of all beings and turn them all to virtue. Just as this Sangháta Sutra has existed for many
centuries until now in the world only to benefit, may the Buddhadharma remain for eons
more, to bring comfort and aid to all.
