Lama Zopa Rinpoche about the “Golden Light Sutra”: “The significance of the “Golden Light Sutra” for us is difficult to overestimate, because the Dharma of Shakyamuni Buddha itself will be preserved in this world as long as this great sutra, one of the most main sutras, King of the sutras. When this sutra disappears, the Buddha's Teachings in this world will disappear. Therefore, anyone who has taken refuge in the three jewels should certainly take care to preserve this sutra. One should try to recite this sutra at least once a day. Also, reading the Golden Light Sutra is one of the most beneficial practices for bringing peace and tranquility. Anyone who wants to stop wars and bloodshed should read the Golden Light Sutra diligently. Reading the Golden Light Sutra aloud, listening to it, encouraging others to read and listen, and explaining the beneficial results from doing so is one of the main instructions throughout the sutra. Several central figures in the sutra explicitly tell us to recite it aloud and encourage others to listen to it.”
