There are in total ten 产丑奴尘颈蝉 representing the ten stages of the Bodhisattva鈥檚 path towards enlightenment.
闯帽腻苍补办别迟耻 is but one among the 500 Buddhas enumerated in the 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 during a conversation between Mah膩k膩ty膩yana and Mah膩k膩艣yapa, both principle disciples of Gautama Buddha. The 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 is an important text of the Lokottarav膩da school of buddhism, dating from the 2nd century BCE.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.

The N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 (literally, 鈥榓n explanation of the 苍腻尘补-尘补苍迟谤补蝉鈥�) is a commentary (峁玨腻) on the 8th century Ma帽ju艣r墨n膩masa峁僩墨ti.
闯帽腻苍补办别迟耻 is a name of Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the embodiement of non-dual knowledge) and, together with other names, forms the core essence of the Ma帽ju艣r墨n膩masa峁僩墨ti. The N膩mamantr膩rth膩valokin墨 provides the practitioner a 蝉腻诲丑补苍补 (鈥榤editative practice鈥�) to turn these names into mantras. These mantras are chanted for the benefit of all beings, and then placed and contemplated in the 痴补箩谤补诲丑腻迟耻-尘补丑腻尘补峁囜笉补濒补, which is an extended version of the Vajradh膩tu-ma峁囜笉ala.

闯帽腻苍补办别迟耻 (啶溹啶炧ぞ啶ㄠ啷囙い啷�) refers to one of the sixteen Bhadrakalpa Bodhisattvas, according to the Ni峁annayog膩val墨 44ff and Abhay膩karagupta鈥檚 Durgatipari艣odhana-ma峁囜笉ala (Cf.

Sanskrit, also spelled 啶膏啶膏啶曕啶むぎ啷� (蝉补峁僺办峁泃补尘), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
