The '''''Sutra on the Eightfold Auspiciousnesses''''' (Skt. ''maṅgalāṣṭakasūtra''; Tib. བཀྲ་ཤིས་བརྒྱད་པའི་མདོ།, [[Wyl.]] ''bkra shis brgyad pa'i mdo'', or more fully Skt. ''ārya maṃgalāṣṭaka nāma mahāyāna sūtra''; Wyl. '' 'phags pa bkra shis brgyad pa zhes bya ba theg pa chen po'i mdo'') — a [[sutra]] expounded by Buddha [[Shakyamuni]] while residing in [[Vaishali]] in the Mango Grove, on the request of Rabtsal from the Licchavis. The Buddha explains about eight [[buddha field]]s that lie in the east, the [[tathagata]]s who dwell there, and the benefits acquired by reciting their names.

This is the sutra [[Mipham Rinpoche]] based his ''[[Verses of the Eight Noble Auspicious Ones]]'' on.
