| | Buddha-nature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Buddha states (in the Tibetan version of the Sutra): "all phenomena ["dharmas"] are not non-Self: the Self is Reality("tattva"), the Self is eternal ("nitya"), the Self is virtue ("guna"), the Self is everlasting ("shasvata"), the Self is stable ("dhruva"), and the Self is peace ("siva")". | | | The teaching on the Self which is attributed to the Buddha in the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra" insists upon the True Self's ultimacy, sovereignty and immortality. | | | Lankavatara Sutra (in the "Sagathakam" chapter - e.g."The Self characterised with purity is the state of Self-realisation; this is the Tathagata-garbha, which does not belong to the realm of the theorisers"), the |

| | The idea of an everlasting Buddha is a Mahayana notion popularly associated with the Mahayana Buddhist scripture, the Lotus Sutra. | | | The sutra itself, however, does not directly employ the phrase "eternal Buddha"; yet similar notions are found in other Mahayana scriptures, notably the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, in which the Buddha presents himself as the eternal ("nitya"/ "sasvata"), blissful, pure Self ( Atman) who, as the Dharmakaya, knows of no beginning or end. | | | Emphasizing this universal availability, the Mahayana school of Buddhism in particular refers to many Buddhas and also to many bodhisattvas (beings committed to Enlightenment but who vow to postpone their own Nirvana in order to assist others on the path). |

| | The Gandhavyuha sutra is thought to be the source of a cult of Vairocana that later gave rise to the Mahavairocana-adhisambodhi tantra which became one of two central texts in Shingon Buddhism, and is included in the Tibetan canon as a carya class tantra. | | | Shingon Buddhism developed a system which assigned authorship of the early sutras to Gautama Buddha in his physical manifestation; of the Ekayana sutras to the Buddhas as Sambhoghakaya ; and the Vajrayana texts to the Buddha as Dharmakaya. | | | Later texts, such as the Mahayana Sutras, are also considered to be the words of the Buddha, but were transmitted either in secret, via lineages of mythical beings (such as the Nagas), or came directly from other Buddhas or bodhisattvas. |

| | Nirvana Sutra :: Appreciation of the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra" |
| | The Mahaparinirvana Sutra is a key sutra for an understanding of the Buddha's teachings on the Buddha-dhatu ("Buddha Nature", "Buddha Principle") and the synonymous "Tathagatagarbha" (innermost Buddhic core of each being). | | | The Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra ("Great, Complete Nirvana Mahayana Scripture" - commonly known as the Nirvana Sutra, for short) is one of the most profound, inspiring and important of all the Buddha's Mahayana sutras. | | | Welcome to the "Nirvana Sutra" site, devoted to the "Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra" - the sutra specialising in the "Buddha-dhatu" ("Buddha Nature") / "Tathagatagarbha" teachings |

| | (2) The Indian orthodox Buddhists of old declared that the Mahayana sutras were the fabrication of heretics or of the Evil One, and not the teachings of the Buddha. | | | The former are the basis of the Mahayana, or the higher and reformed Buddhism, full of profound metaphysical reasonings; while the latter form that of the Hinayana, or the lower and early Buddhism, which is simple and ethical teaching. | | | It is in this sutra that most of Shakya's eminent disciples, known as the adherents of Hinayanism, are astonished with the profound wisdom, the eloquent speech, and the supernatural power of Vimalakirtti, a Bodhisattva, and confess the inferiority of their faith. |

| | Nirvana Sutra or Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra ( Chinese : Niepan Jing (涅槃經); Japanese : Nehangyō (涅槃経)) is one of the major texts of East Asian Mahāyāna Buddhism. | | | The Nirvana Sutra presents an account of the Buddha's final sermon prior to his parinirvana (his physical death). | | | Note that this is one of several Buddhist texts having approximately the same title, others being the Mahaparinibbana Sutta in the Pali Canon and the Sanskrit Mahaparinirvana Sutra belonging to the Sarvastivadin canon. |

| | The Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra purports to be the Buddha's final Mahayana sutra, delivered on the last day of his earthly life. | | | Although this text and similarly orientated " Tathagatagarbha " sutras constitute a major dimension to the Buddha's Mahayana teachings, they have suffered from undue neglect in the West and are only now beginning to receive the serious attention which their inherent depth and historical influence deserve. | | | The highest form of Nirvana - "Mahaparinirvana" - is also discussed in very positive and affirmative terms in this sutra and is characterised as being that which is "Eternal ("nitya"), Happy ("sukha"), the Self ("atman") and Pure ("subha"). |

| | The class of Buddhist scriptures known as the " Tathagatagarbha " sutras presents a seemingly variant view of Emptiness, according to which the Buddha and Nirvana, unlike compounded, conditioned phenomena, are not empty of intrinsic existence, but merely of the impermanent, the painful and the selfless. | | | The " Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra " supports such a vision and views Ultimate Emptiness as the Buddhic Knowledge which sees both Emptiness and non-Emptiness, wherein "the Empty is the totality of Samsara and the non-Empty is Great Nirvana". | | | In the " Srimala Sutra " the Buddha is seen as empty of all defilement and ignorance, not of intrinsic Reality. |

| | This sutra also describes the cremation of the Buddha's body, the distribution of his ashes, etc. Fragments of the Sanskrit texts from which these translations were made are extant. | | | The Hinayana Nirvana sutras are not so much expositions of Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings as descriptions of the final events of his life, his entry into nirvana, and the distribution of his remains. | | | It teaches that the Dharma body of the Buddha is indestructible and eternal; that the state of nirvana is endowed with the four virtues of eternity, happiness, true self, and purity; that all living beings possess the Buddha nature; and that even icchantikas, or persons of incorrigible disbelief, can attain Buddhahood. |

| | The Buddha, in some of his most deep-reaching sutras - such as the Tathagata-garbha Sutra, the Srimaladevi Sutra, the Surangama Sutra, and the Mahaparinirvana Sutra (amongst others) - insists that this teaching of the "Buddha-Principle" within all beings is ultimate Truth and must not be rejected. | | | And yet a closer study of Mahayana Buddhism (one of the two main divisions of Buddhism) reveals that this is quite simply inaccurate. | | | I have been researching into the Mahaparinirvana Sutra (the Buddha's final sutra) for many years and am working in collaboration with the Buddhist scholar and translator, Stephen Hodge, whom I have commissioned to complete the first-ever translation of the Tibetan Mahaparirnirvana Sutra into English. |

| | Three of the most important early texts for the introduction of this doctrine are the Tathagatagarbha Sutra, the Śrīmālā-sūtra and the Awakening of Faith ; the " Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra " and the Anunatva-Apurnatva-Nirdesa sutra are also vital texts for a fuller understanding of "Tathagatagarbha" teaching. | | | In modern-Western manifestations of the Zen Buddhist tradition, it is considered insufficient simply to understand Buddha-nature intellectually. | | | The Tathagatagarbha is indicated by the relevant sutras to be the ultimate, pure, ungraspable, irreducible, invulnerable, true and deathless Essence of the Buddha's liberating Reality. |
