Bouquet of Flowers

In this sutra, Bouquet of Flowers (Skt. Kusumasañcaya; Tib. མེ་ཏོག་གི་ཚོགས།, Wyl. me tog gi tshogs), the Buddha describes a vast array of wondrous, far-off world systems each inhabited by Buddhas who teach the Dharma there. The Buddha says that hearing those buddhas’ names, brings a wide range of benefits, all of which are ultimately directed toward attaining unexcelled, perfect and complete awakening. In this sutra, the Buddha’s main interlocutor is Shariputra, but he also interacts with Ajita and Mahakashyapa.
