Munivarman

An Indian paṇḍita who was resident in Tibet during the late eighth and early ninth centuries. His name not only appears as the translator of the Lalitavistarasūtra but on other texts such as the Tathāgatācintyaguhyanirdeśasūtra (The Teaching on the Unfathomable Secrets of the Tathāgatas) and the Tathāgatajñānamudrāsamādhisūtra (The Sūtra on the Samādhi That Is the Seal of the Gnosis of the Tathāgatas).

The Play in Full tells the story of how the Buddha manifested in this world and attained awakening, as perceived from the perspective of the Great Vehicle. The sūtra, 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 Śākya nation. It then recounts his escape from the palace and the years of hardship he faced in his quest for spiritual awakening. Finally the sūtra reveals his complete victory over the demon Māra, his attainment of awakening under the Bodhi tree, his first turning of the wheel of Dharma, and the formation of the very early saṅgha.
