Avatamsaka Sutra

Book • 2022
The Avatamsaka Sutra, also known as the Flower Ornament Sutra, is a Mahayana Buddhist scripture that describes the interconnectedness of all things in the universe.

It emphasizes the concept of interpenetration, where all phenomena are mutually dependent and contain within them the entire universe.

The sutra uses elaborate metaphors, such as the jeweled net of Indra, to illustrate this profound interconnectedness.

It's a vast and complex text, often studied for its rich symbolism and philosophical depth.

The sutra's teachings have influenced various Buddhist schools and practices, particularly in East Asia.
