The Creation of Avalokiteśvara: Exploring His Origin in the Northern Āgamas

Through intertextual analyses between the northern Āgamas, Ava-lokiteśvara’s (A.) iconography-quality, and the early A.-related texts, this research argues that A. is a composite character representing the Buddha’s entire bodhisattva aspect.
