대승경전, or the "Mahāyāna Sutras," are a collection of Buddhist texts that form the foundation of the Mahāyāna tradition. These scriptures emphasize the path of the Bodhisattva, a being who seeks enlightenment not only for themselves but for all sentient beings. They explore concepts such as compassion, wisdom, and the nature of reality. These texts include well-known works like the Lotus Sutra and the Heart Sutra. They are considered essential for understanding the broader teachings of Buddhism and are studied by practitioners seeking to deepen their spiritual practice and understanding of the universe.
