The Prophecy on Mount Goshringa (Skt. Gośṛṅgavyākaraṇa; Tib. གླང་རུ་ལུང་བསྟན་པ།, Wyl. glang ru lung bstan pa) is an account of the Buddha Shakyamuni visiting the ancient Central Asian oasis state of Khotan, and prophesying its future as a Buddhist kingdom. It is one of a number of canonical texts in the form of prophecies that furnish Khotan with its Buddhist founding mythology. While other texts relate how the Buddha prophesied key figures in Khotan’s founding, rule, and protection, this sutra provides an account of how the Buddha also established and blessed the landscape itself and other physical features of the country.[1]

Text

The Tibetan translation of this sutra can be found in the General Sutra section of the Tibetan Dergé Kangyur, Toh 357
