Mahayana sutras

Mahayana sutras are a very broad genre of Buddhism scriptures that were originally put in writing starting in the first century BCE. They form the basis of the various Mahayana schools. Mahayana Buddhists believe that these texts, with the exception of those with an explicitly Chinese provenance, are an authentic account of teachings given during the Buddha's lifetime. However, Theravada Buddhists believe them to be apocryphal. * Texts of Indian origin ** Diamond Sutra ** Heart Sutra ** Lankavatara Sutra ** Lotus Sutra ** Perfection of Wisdom sutras (Prajnaparamita sutras) ** Ten Stages Sutra ** Vimalakirti Sutra * Texts of Chinese origin ** Perfect Enlightenment Sutra (''Yuanjue Jing'') ** Platform Sutra (''Liuzutan Jing'') * Other texts ** Amitabha Sutra (''Smaller Pure Land Sutra'') ** Avatamsaka Sutra (''Flower Garland Sutra'') ** Contemplation Sutra ** Infinite Life Sutra (''Large Pure Land Sutra'') ** Mahaparinirvana Sutra ** Shurangama Sutra ** Sutra in Forty-Two Sections ** Sutra of Golden Light Buddhist texts Mahayana sutras
