Surangama Sutra

This 2h movie on Surangama Sutra specifically on how Buddha correcting Ananda's wrong view. The following interaction between the Buddha and Ananda (Buddha's cousin) starts from about 1h 35 min.

Thus I have heard

The bright essence of consciousness is our non-arising, non-perishing (everlasting True Mind). It is our [True basis] to Buddhahood. Ananda if you want to truly understand the [Wondrous path] to Buddhahood and eventually break free from the cycle of birth and death, there must be True Understanding.

Ananda, do you see it? 

Yes indeed Bhagavan.

What did you see?

I saw the Bhagavan raise his arm and bend his fingers into a fist that sends forth light, dazzling my mind and eyes.

What did you use to see?

The Assembly and I used the eyes to see.

Ananda, you do not have the True Understanding, otherwise you would not have replied that you had seen the Bhagavan raised his arm and bent his fingers into a fist that sent forth light dazzling your mind and eyes.

Bhagavan I don't understand. 

Indeed you have not understand. Ananda you are using your eyes to see my fist. But I was asking about which mind you had used to perceive the dazzling brightness of the fist. 

Bhagavan, it took me great effort to understand the principles of the two fundamentals. But why is Bhagavan revisiting it? I am utterly puzzled.

Ananda, when I asked you earlier about the location of the mind, it was to let you understand that the illusory mind which causes the cycle of birth and death is without a location. All your repeatedly wrong conclusions were rebutted and proven.

That the illusory mind has a location that the illusory mind has a solid substance are all ridiculous. And now I am asking you what exactly is the mind? But you have stopped at your initial perception that the eyes can see the attributes while the mind admires and not move forward. (眼见胜相， 心生喝仰).

Ananda if you don't understand the True Mind and continue to use the illusory thinking, it will only prolong the miserable and unceasing cycle of birth and death, transmigrating in the 6 realms of existence, and forever unable to get out. 

Let me ask you again, which is your inherent True Mind?

Bhagavan ever since the Bhagavan questioned the location of the mind up to now, I have been using the mind to investigate and search. It is this mind which is able to infer, used to investigate, search and seize on condition, that is my True Mind.

Ananda that is not your True Mind. 

If it is not my True Mind, then what is it? 

Ananda, Your so-called mind that can investigate and  search is merely your perception of false appearances based on delusory objects giving rise to (distinguishing) and illusory thinking. Such (false thoughts) and illusory feelings have continuously been deluding and confusing you about your True nature and since time without beginning till now been like a son(taking a thief as his father) mistaking the (illusory nature) as the true nature. As such, you have lost touch with your inherent (everlasting) true mind and fallen into the recurring cycle of birth and death, suffering, perplexity, entanglement, despair , depression, worrie, resentment and other types of torment unable to be comfortable and happy. 

Ananda, the Tathagata has often explained that All phenomena that arise are only manifestation of the mind. This means that all forms of causes and effects from as large as a whole world to as minute as a mote of dust come from the contemplation of the True Mind resulting in the manifestation of the various phenomena. 

Ananda that is to say that the illusory mind is our consciousness that subjectively discriminate when it perceives external phenomena whereas the True mind is the one that is able to contemplate and reveal the essential nature and fundamentals of all phenomena.
