An annotated Buddhist scripture in translation

Volume Three concludes Bhikshu Dharmamitra’s three-volume translation of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, based on the Chinese translation attributed to Śikṣānanda. Across its 39 chapters, the scripture presents an expansive cosmos of buddha worlds alongside detailed teachings on the bodhisattva path to buddhahood, including the ten bodhisattva grounds. The annotations and accompanying commentarial synopsis frame this volume as part of a substantial translation project, while the subject matter centers on Buddhist sacred teaching rather than a modern narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying Mahāyāna Buddhist scriptures and the bodhisattva path
  • Those seeking an annotated English translation of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra
  • Readers interested in Buddhist cosmology and teachings on the bodhisattva grounds

Book overview

The Flower Adornment Sutra is Bhikshu Dharmamitra's extensively annotated 3-volume original translation of the Maḥāvaipulya Buddha Avataṃsaka Sūtra or "The Great Expansive Buddha's Flower Adornment Sutra" rendered from Tripitaka Master Śikṣānanda's circa 699 ce Sanskrit-to-Chinese 80-fascicle translation as the "Da Fangguang Fo Huayan Jing" (大方廣佛華嚴經 / Taisho Vol. 10, no. 279). It consists of 39 chapters that introduce an interpenetrating, infinitely expansive, and majestically grand multiverse of countless buddha worlds while explaining in great detail the cultivation of the bodhisattva path to buddhahood, most notably the ten highest levels of bodhisattva practice known as "the ten bodhisattva grounds." To date, this is the first and only complete English translation of the Avataṃsaka Sutra.
