Description

This is a translation of a Buddhist scripture which was originally written in Sanskrit but is best known to Buddhists through Chinese versions. It is one of the most influential and popular texts of Maha¯ya¯na Buddhism. The work is famous and beloved throughout the Far East for its parables; presentation of abstract religious concepts in concrete images; the innumerable fascinating beings which people the work; and the charm, warmth, and directness of its style.
