It is called the sutra of the great assembly of bodhisattvas from every direction, and of the apocalyptic sermons delivered to them by the Buddha. Said to have been preached by the Buddha "from the age of 45 to 49...to buddhas and bodhisattvas assembled from every region, by a great staircase made between the world of desire and that of form." B.N. in this sutra the Buddha explains to other buddhas and bodhisattvas the Mahāyāna principles, such as the theory of emptiness. The sūtra is also strongly characterized by esotericism. Another version was translated by Jñānagupta and others in 594 CE entitled 大方等大集賢護經.
