𑌪𑌾𑌤𑌂𑌜𑌲𑌿 𑌯𑍋𑌗 𑌸𑍂𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌣𑌿 are concise aphorisms that describe how a restless mind can become steady, clear, and inwardly free. The sutras are intentionally compact: each line is a "pointer" that opens up through study, reflection, and sustained practice. Traditional study reads them with a teacher (𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁) and a commentary; this meaning file is a structured aid for that kind of slow, repeatable contemplation.
The full work is arranged into four chapters (𑌪𑌾𑌦𑌾𑌃). 𑌸𑌮𑌾𑌧𑌿 𑌪𑌾𑌦 defines what 𑌯𑍋𑌗 is, explains how the mind wanders, and outlines the core tools for steady focus. 𑌸𑌾𑌧𑌨 𑌪𑌾𑌦 turns that vision into daily discipline: it explains the causes of suffering, introduces 𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌾-𑌯𑍋𑌗, and lays the groundwork for the eight-limbed path.
