The Bodhisattvabhūmi Sūtra, translated by the eminent translator Dharmakṣema during the Northern Liang dynasty, is an essential text of the Yogācāra school. This scripture systematically expounds the ten stages of the Bodhisattva path and the precepts to be upheld, encompassing the entire journey from the initial aspiration for enlightenment through cultivation to the attainment of Buddhahood. It reflects the mature form of Mahāyāna Bodhisattva path thought in the 5th century CE and has profoundly influenced the Bodhisattva precept system and cultivation theory within Chinese Buddhism. It remains a key text for the study of Mahāyāna Bodhisattva practice and doctrine.
