Sanskrit: Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra; Chinese: 大般涅槃經, Dàbōnièpán-jīng.
The Mahaparinirvana Sutra is an influential Mahāyāna Buddhist scripture that details the final days and teachings of the Buddha before his mahāparinirvāṇa (great complete nirvana).
Key Teachings: The sutra's main teachings focus on the eternity of the Buddha, the reality of the True Self, and the concept of Buddha-nature (Buddha-dhatu) being present in all sentient beings.
The text explores the state of enlightenment and the complete extinguishing of passions, which is considered impossible to fully achieve while retaining a physical body.
