Home›Sutras›Canonical Status›Canonical (Mahayana)Browse ByCanonical (Mahayana)This page groups scripture texts by whether a religious community formally accepts them. Wikipedia notes that a canon refers to a "catalogue of sacred scriptures" that is broadly accepted to "contain and agree with the rule or canon of a particular faith." Browsing by canonical status lets a visitor separate a text a tradition formally accepts from one it merely discusses or references.FactsCanonical (Mahayana)SourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1Canonical (Mahayana)Filter Results13 entriesLiterary FormAllSutra (13)LanguageAllClassical Chinese (4)Sanskrit (10)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (4)TraditionAllJodo Shinshu (1)Madhyamaka (3)Mahayana (9)Nichiren (1)Nichiren Shoshu (1)Pure Land (1)Rinzai (1)Shingon (1)Soka Gakkai (1)Soto (1)Tendai (1)Tiantai (1)Vajrayana (2)Zen (4)Attributed ToAllHuineng (1)Originated InAllChina (1)Originates In LanguageAllClassical Chinese (3)Sanskrit (10)Parent workAllPerfection of Wisdom Sutras (2)Canon divisionAllMahayana Buddhist Sutras (13)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 13Avatamsaka SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Bhaishajyaguru SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Diamond SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Heart SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Karandavyuha SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Lankavatara SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Larger Sukhavativyuha SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Lotus SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Nilakantha Dharani SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Perfection of Wisdom SutrasCanonical (Mahayana)Platform SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Surangama SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Vimalakirti SutraCanonical (Mahayana)Sources1.
