Daśabhūmikasūtra. (T. Sa bcu pa'i mdo; C. Shidi jing/Shizhu jing; J. Jūjikyō/Jūjūkyō; K. Sipchi kyǒng/Sipchu kyǒng 十地經. In Sanskrit, "Scripture of the Ten Stages"; the definitive scriptural account of the ten "grounds" or "stages" (daśabhūmi) at the upper reaches of the bodhisattva path (mārga). In the sūtra, each of the ten stages is correlated with seminal doctrines of mainstream Buddhism, as well as with mastery of one of a list of ten perfections (pāramitā) completed in the course of training as a bodhisattva. The sūtra appears as one of the chapters of the Avatamsakasūtra [chapter 31] and also circulated as an independent text. (Source: "Daśabhūmikasūtra." In The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, 220.
