Description

The Ugraparipṛcchā Sūtra (The Inquiry of Ugra [or The Sūtra of Ugra's Questions]) is an early Indian sutra which is particularly important for understanding the beginnings of Mahayana Buddhism. It contains positive references to both the path of the bodhisattva and the path of the arhat, the latter of which was denigrated as a lesser spiritual path in later Mahayana sutras. It also emphasizes solitary spiritual practices instead of community-based ones much like the very early Rhinoceros Sutra. (Source Accessed June 17, 2021)
