A​v​a​t​a​ṃ​s​a​k​a​ ​S​ū​t​r​a​ ​(​E​i​g​h​t​y​ ​V​o​l​u​m​e​s​)

The Avataṃsaka Sūtra holds a very high status in Chinese Buddhism and is often regarded as a representative scripture that elucidates the Buddha's realm of awakening and the extensive practices of bodhisattvas. Its content includes the adornment of the dharmadhatu by Vairocana Buddha, the ranks and vows of bodhisattvas, and Sudhana's sequential visits to virtuous teachers in search of the Dharma. Huayan thought commonly interprets the world and practice through the view of the dharmadhatu's interpenetration and the endless layers of dependent origination.
