abstract
  • The Avataṃsaka Sutra (Chinese: 華嚴經 ||pinyin]]: huá yán jīng; Vietnamese: Kinh Hoa Nghiêm; Japanese: Kegon Kyō; Tibetan: མདོཕལཔོཆེ་ Wylie: mdo-phal-po-che) is one of the most influential Mahayana Sutras of East Asian Buddhism. The title is rendered in English as Flower Garland Sutra, Flower Adornment Sutra, or Flowers Ornament Scripture. This text describes a cosmos of infinite realms upon realms, mutually containing each other. The vision expressed in this work was the foundation for the creation of the Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism, which was characterized by a philosophy of interpenetration. Huayan is known as Kegon in Japan. The sutra is also well known for its detailed description of the course of the bodhisattva's practice through ten stages where the 'Sutra of the Ten Bhumis' (Skt. Daśabhūmika-sūtra, Wyl. phags pa sa bcu pa'i mdo), is the nomenclature given to the thirty-first chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra.
