View source for Calling Witness with a Hundred Prostrations

The [[sūtra]] known as '''Calling Witness with a Hundred Prostrations''' (Tib. དཔང་སྐོང་ཕྱག་བརྒྱ་པ་, ''pang kong chak gyapa'', [[Wyl.]] ''dpang skong phyag brgya pa'') is found in the General Sūtra (''[[mdo sde]]'') section of the Tibetan [[Kangyur]] ([[Toh]] 267). No Sanskrit or Chinese version of this [[sūtra]] is known to exist.

This brief [[sūtra]] is widely known as the first [[sūtra]] to arrive in Tibet, long before it became a Buddhist nation, during the reign of the Tibetan King [[Lha Thothori Nyentsen]]. Written to be recited for personal practice, it opens with a hundred and eight prostrations and praises to the many [[buddha]]s of the [[ten directions]] and [[three times]], to the twelve categories of scripture contained in the [[Tripiṭaka]], to the [[bodhisattva]]s of the [[ten directions]], and to the [[arhat]] disciples of the [[Buddha]]. The text includes recitations of the vows of [[refuge]] in the [[Three Jewels]], and of generating [[bodhicitta]].
