AVATAMSAKA SŪTRA 大方廣佛華嚴經
The Flower Adornment Sūtra

This sūtra is vast and exuberant, ushering readers into an awe-inspiring cosmic celebration of Dharma. A close examination reveals that the Flower Adornment Sūtra proffers the same Dharma as all Buddhist texts including Dōgen’s. It is about our path as bodhisattvas and how we walk it so it is as inspiring for us today as it was for Buddhists hundreds of years ago.
