Abstract
The Lalitavistara SÅ«tra on the contrary is regard as one of the most sacred MahÄyÄna texts, as a vaipulya sÅ«tra. It is a text -book of voluminous contents and gives the usual designation of a MahÄyÄna sÅ«tra and yet originally the work embodied a descriptive life of the Buddha for the SÄrvÄá¹£á¹ivÄdi school attached to the HÄ«nayÄna. The Lalitavistara SÅ«tra tells the story of Gautama Buddha from the time of his decent from Tushita until his first sermon in the Deer Park near Varanasi. The Lalitavistara sÅ«tra was written in a combination of Sanskrit and a vernacular. The term Lalitavistara has been translated "The play in Full "or "Extensive Play", referring to the MahÄyÄna view that the Buddha's last incarnation was a "display "or "performance" given for the benefit of the beings in this world. The Lalitavistara sÅ«tra shares with the Hindu Puranas similarities of style as well as the concept of a divine being's earthly activities as "sport", or "play". It has inspired a considerable amount of Buddhist art. The SÅ«tra, which is structured in twenty -seven chapters, first presents the events surrounding the Buddha's birth, childhood, and adolescence in the royal palace of his father, king of the sakya nation. It then recounts his escape from the palace and the years of hardship he faced in his quest for spiritual awakening. Finally the SÅ«tra reveals his complete victory over the demon Mara, his attainment of awakening under the Bodhi tree, his first turning of the wheel of Dharma, and the formation of the very early sangha. In this paper, I attempt to explore the Lalitavistara SÅ«tra.
