Description
Lokottaraparivarta (Tib. 'jig rten las 'das pa'i le'u, "Chapter on Transcending the World") is chapter 44 of 45 in the Buddhāvataṃsakasūtra (Toh 44, Dege Kangyur vol. 37, phal chen, ga). One of only five chapters in the Avataṃsaka with its own introductory narrative (nidāna), it presents a teaching by the bodhisattva Samantabhadra delivered after he enters a samādhi called sangs rgyas phal po che ("Multitude of Buddhas"). It immediately precedes the sūtra's final and longest chapter, the Gaṇḍavyūha.

One of the longest works in the entire Buddhist canon, the Buddhāvataṃsakasūtra is widely considered to be a compilation of independent scriptures, which was expanded upon over the course of time. It was extremely influential in East Asia, where it was preserved in an eighty-scroll recension. The Tibetan translation of this work fills four volumes in the Derge Kangyur. Though only two sections—namely, the Gaṇḍavyūhasūtra and the Daśabhūmikasūtra—have survived in Sanskrit, both of which have also circulated as independent works.
