They are largely preserved in the Chinese Buddhist canon, the Tibetan Buddhist canon, and in extant manuscripts. Mahayana sutras are passed down as the legacy of Gautama Buddha: early versions were not written documents but orally preserved teachings said to be verses that were committed to memory and recited by his disciples, in particular Ananda, which were viewed as a substitute for the actual speech of the Buddha following his parinirvana

Praying to them will give Tibetan buddhists benefits. Bodhisattvas are those who can escape Nirvana but choose to stay and help everyone. Dharma protectors are the protectors of the Dharma and enforcers of law. ]]> 2017-03-06 22:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wwagner17/cdv9ytwc5540/wish/158198306
