         From:Yutang Lin  Even though we  have posted our Dharma friend Vittorio Filesi's Italian version of Guru Chen's  Dragon King Sutra Stanzas, some might have overlooked the Addendum at the end  of that lengthy work.  So I would like to  call to people's attention to this report which contains descriptions on  miraculous events. The  Addendum in English and Italian is presented below, and we will post this email  as A0286 at our websites in the Miscellaneous and Inspirational Categories.  We will also add  the Sutra Stanza as related work.  May all beings  attain Enlightenment soon!                 Yutang  Addendum on the Translation into Italian Language         Thanks to my researches on the Web, years ago I met the site of Yogi Chen 
        and Yogi Lin. I was struck by the fact that it contained a deep and huge 
        mass of essays, writings, prayers, sadhanas, all available for free download 
        or reading. It happened at that time that I dreamed Yogi Chen in the sky 
        talking in my direction. But I couldn't hear His words, so I understood I 
        had to examine in depth. Among the various prayers and invocations I found 
        the "Dragon-King Sutra Stanzas" that I decided, under a personal vow, to 
        translate into Italian to be useful to a wider audience.  I informed Yogi Lin of this superior participation and he replied:"As to the 
        supernatural change of 'man' to 'heavenly-man,' it was obviously a kind of 
        'divine guidance' because the reply was to a goddess, and her transformation 
        in gender will result certainly not in a man but a male deity. So I have 
        also amended the English version accordingly."  In the hope to have given a contribution to the distribution of this 
        important Sutra, I say goodbye and thank who allowed me to disseminate this 
        translation, errors of which are but mine.         SARVA MANGALAM Addendum sulla traduzione in lingua italiana Grazie a mie ricerche sul Web, anni fa incontrai il sito di Yogi Chen e Yogi 
        Lin. Rimasi colpito dal fatto che contenesse una massa imponente e profonda 
        di saggi, scritti, preghiere, sadhane disponibili allo scaricamento e alla 
        lettura gratuita. Accadde allora che sognai Yogi Chen nel cielo che parlava rivolto a me. Ma 
        non udivo le sue parole, così capii che dovevo approfondire. Tra le diverse 
        preghiere e invocazioni individuai le “Strofe del Sutra del Re Dragone”che 
        decisi, con un voto personale, di tradurre in italiano per un pubblico più 
        ampio.  Informai Yogi Lin dell'intervento superiore, che mi rispose via email: “Per 
        ciò che concerne il cambiamento soprannaturale da 'uomo' a 'uomo-celeste', 
        si è trattato di un tipo di 'guida divina' poiché la risposta era ad una 
        dea, e la sua trasformazione del genere avrebbe comportato certamente non un 
        uomo ma una divinità maschile. Così ho anche modificato in questo senso la 
        versione inglese.”  SARVA MANGALAM Home][Related works:Strofe del Sutra del Re Dragone / Dragon-King Sutra Stanzas、Dragon-King Sutra Stanzas ][Back to  list] |
