DESCRIPTION
The Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra 摩訶般若波羅蜜多經 is an encyclopedic collection of Prajñāpāramitā texts, usually attributed to Nāgārjuna’s ‘discovery’ of Mahayana sutras, translated into Chinese by Xuanzang and his assistants in 660 AD. This massive work (six hundred fascicles filling three entire Taishō volumes!), is one of the most complete collections of Prajñāpāramitā sutras available in any language.
