My research here concerns roll seven of the apocryphal  Shoulengyan jing  首楞嚴經 [* Śūraṃgama-sūtra , Book of the Hero’s March] ( T  no. 945) because it contains the  Lengyan zhou  楞嚴呪 [* Śūraṃgama  spell], which is used in the  Lengyan  Assembly today in Chinese, South Korean and Japanese Buddhist monasteries on an annual basis. The presence of the * Śūraṃgama spell  confirms for some scholars the authenticity of the  Shoulengyan jing , as opposed to its status as an apocryphal composition in China. In this article I investigate both premodern Chinese and Tibetan sources regarding the  dhāraṇī  in roll seven of the  Shoulengyan jing  to bolster the argument that this scripture ought to be considered an apocryphon, and that the question of who composed the  Shoulengyan jing  remains problematic.
