Home›Sutras›Literary Form›SutraBrowse BySutraThis page groups scripture texts by their literary form. Wikipedia notes that the Sunnah is documented "by hadith (the verbally transmitted record of the teachings, deeds and sayings, silent permissions or disapprovals attributed to Muhammad)," a distinct reported-saying form rather than continuous narrative. Browsing by literary form lets a visitor compare a law code against a narrative, a hymn, or a collection of sayings.FactsSutraSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsDirectoryCategoryWell-attestedScriptures & Texts 1SutraFilter Results15 entriesLanguageAllClassical Chinese (4)Sanskrit (12)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (5)Canonical StatusAllCanonical (2)Canonical (Mahayana) (13)TraditionAllDigambara (1)Jodo Shinshu (1)Madhyamaka (3)Mahayana (9)Nichiren (1)Nichiren Shoshu (1)Pure Land (1)Rinzai (1)Shingon (1)Smartism (1)Soka Gakkai (1)Soto (1)Svetambara (1)Tendai (1)Tiantai (1)Vajrayana (2)Zen (4)Attributed ToAllHuineng (1)Vyasa (1)Authored ByAllUmaswati (1)Originated InAllChina (1)Originates In LanguageAllClassical Chinese (3)Sanskrit (12)Parent workAllPerfection of Wisdom Sutras (2)Canon divisionAllMahayana Buddhist Sutras (13)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 15Avatamsaka SutraSutraBhaishajyaguru SutraSutraBrahma SutrasSutraDiamond SutraSutraHeart SutraSutraKarandavyuha SutraSutraLankavatara SutraSutraLarger Sukhavativyuha SutraSutraLotus SutraSutraNilakantha Dharani SutraSutraPerfection of Wisdom SutrasSutraPlatform SutraSutraSurangama SutraSutraTattvartha SutraSutraVimalakirti SutraSutraSources1.
