'The original source for ideas on what to do with the Sanghâta Sûtra is undoubtedly the Sanghâta itself. In the text, Buddha Shakyamuni and others discuss the benefits of reading the Ârya Sanghâta Sûtra, reciting it, memorizing it, reflecting on it, understanding it, prostrating to it with a mind of faith, writing it down, having it written, listening to it, hearing it completely to the end, just having it fall on one's ears, feeling pleased by it, honoring and venerating it, making drawings for it, offering flowers to it, offering incense, or fragrance, or garlands, or unguents, powders, robes, canopies, banners, or pennants, or joining together cymbals and rejoicing afterwards just once, approving of it by saying 'excellent, excellent.'
Despite how generous the Sanghâta is with its suggestions, nevertheless, creatives devotees of the Sanghâta Sûtra are still finding other things to do with the wondrous text called the Ârya Sanghâta Sûtra.
Of course, one can always read or recite the text. (For reciting, see our Guide to Reciting section; For reading, see our Guide for Readers.) But here are a few of the other ways that people have found to keep the Sanghâta Sûtra active on this planet earth. '
