Accumulated Great Treasures Sutra
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Accumulated Great Treasures Sutra
大宝積経 (Chin Ta-pao-chi-ching; Jpn Daihoshaku-kyo )
Also known as the Accumulated Treasures Sutra. A compilation of 49 smaller sutras into a single work comprising 77 chapters in 120 volumes. Under the aegis of the imperial court of the T'ang dynasty in China, Bodhiruchi began the translation and compilation of the sutra in 705 and completed it in 713. It contains numerous teachings included in a variety of Mahayana sutras. Among the 49 smaller sutras from which he compiled this sutra, Bodhiruchi translated 26 himself. The remaining 23 had been translated by Kumarajiva, Dharmaraksha (the Dharmaraksha known as the "Bodhisattva of Tun-huang"), and others.
