Praise of Dharmadhatu (Skt. Dharmadhātustava; Wyl. chos kyi dbyings su bstod pa) – a shastra written by Nagarjuna concerning the intention of the third turning of the Wheel of Dharma.

This text belongs to Nagarjuna’s Collection of Praises.

This text is primarily about buddha nature--called dharmadhatu here. Nagarjuna shows how buddha nature exists in all beings, is temporarily obscured, and can be revealed in its full bloom. The emphasis is on the actual experience of mind's vivid wakefulness.
