About this Manuscript

The Mahāmeghasūtra presents a discourse between the Buddha Śākyamuni and the bodhisattva Great Cloud, also referred to as Great Cloud Secret Storehouse or Great Cloud Essence, alongside a vast audience of human and divine beings. Their dialogue explores a wide range of topics, with a central focus on the expansive path of bodhisattvas. The text details the meditative states, dhāraṇī power, and liberative techniques that bodhisattvas must master to guide all sentient beings toward liberation.(Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, entry on Mahāmeghasūtra and 84000, https://84000.co/translation/toh232)
