The full text of "The Shurangama Sutra Volume 8": Practitioners should cut off the five pungent plants to avoid causing greed, lust, and anger. They should strictly hold the pure precepts, forever cut off the lustful mind, and not eat meat or drink alcohol. Starting from the Dry Wisdom Ground, passing through the Ten Faiths, Ten Dwellings, Ten Conducts, Ten Transferings, Four Additional Practices, and Ten Grounds, finally attaining Equal Enlightenment and Wonderful Enlightenment. The ten kinds of habits (lust, greed, arrogance, anger, deception, lying, resentment, views, injustice, litigation) and the retributions recruited by them. The six kinds of evil retributions recruited by the six sense organs creating karma (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, thinking), the causes of the formation of evil paths such as hells, hungry ghosts, and animals, the cultivation methods and characteristics of the ten kinds of immortals, the formation and characteristics of the six desire heavens. The reincarnation of all living beings is recruited by their own false thinking and karma. If one can realize Bodhi, one can be liberated.
