Shurangama Sutra - The Fifty Skandha-Demon States

The final section of the Sutra describes the five skandhas of form, feeling, thinking, formations, and consciousness in terms of demonic states a cultivator may fall into by becoming attached or arrogant about spiritual powers. Ten demonic states are explained for each skandha. The foreword describes this book as an invaluable aid to avoid the pitfalls of association with false gurus. Glossary
