The Great Collection Sūtra

Charles D Patton, Dharmacakṣus Āloka, Alexander James O'Neill

This volume offers a complete translation of fascicles 1-13, or sections I-VII of the Mahavaipulya Mahasa?nipata Sutra, the Great Extensive Collection Sutra. This collection of closely-related sutras is probably one of the earliest compilations of Mahayana sutras and offers insightful thoughts on the nature of Buddha-nature, bodhisattva conduct, non-duality, silence, dhara?is, maras, and more. It was carefully translated by Alexander James O'Neill (sections I-V), Aloka Dharmacak?us (section VI), and Charles D. Patton (section VII). This volume contains translations of the following sections of Taisho no. 397:

I. Jewelled Ornamentation (fascicle 1a) II. Dhara?isvararaja Bodhisattva (fascicles 1b-4) III. Ratnadarika (fascicles 6-7) IV. Animi?a Bodhisattva (fascicle 7) V. Sagaramati Bodhisattva (fascicles 8-11) VI. Avacya Bodhisattva (fascicle 12) VII. Anabhilapya Bodhisattva (fascicle 13)
