Lotus Sutra
The Innumerable Meanings Sutra also known as the Sutra of Infinite Meanings (Sanskrit: अनन्त निर्देश सूत्र, "Ananta Nirdeśa Sūtra"; ; Japanese: "Muryōgi Kyō"; Korean: "Muryangeui Gyeong") is a Mahayana buddhist text. According to tradition, it was translated from Sanskrit into Chinese by Dharmajātayaśas, an Indian monk, in 481, however Buswell, Dolce and Muller describe it as an apocryphal Chinese text. It is part of the "Threefold Lotus Sutra", along with the "Lotus Sutra" and the "Samantabhadra Meditation Sutra". As such, many Mahayana Buddhists consider it the prologue to the "Lotus Sutra", and Chapter one of the "Lotus Sutra" states that the Buddha taught the Infinite Meanings just before expounding the "Lotus Sutra".
