1. Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva is in Sankrit and is a male
fiture.
2. In chinese, is a female figure and the name in chinese is Da Shi
Zhi Bothisattva. In vietnamese Dai The Chi. Very much like chinese
lol of course.
3 Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva is one of the two high stage
Bodhisattva in Amitabha Buddha's world, often He is on the right
side of Amitabha Buddha where as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is on
the left.
I have read a sutra in vietnamese called "Kinh Bi Hoa". I don't
know if they have it in english yet, but this sutra basically
Shakyamuni Buddha taught about the past lifetime of Amitabha
Buddha, past lifetime of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, past lifetime
of Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva, past lifetime of Manjusri
Bodhisattva, and past lifetime of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
And In this sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha taught past lifetime of
Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva was a prince. Amitabha Buddha was a
king and father of all those prince. In that sutra, Shakyamuni
Buddha also taught about the reasons of how Mahasthamprapta
Bodhisattva achieve Bodhisattvahood and also the prediction future
Buddha of Utmost Bliss. Shakyamuni Buddha taught, after Amitabha
Buddha entered Nirvana, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will attain
Buddhahood and become Buddha replace Amitabha Buddha in Utmost
Bliss world. The name of Utmost Bliss world will also be changed.
And after Avalokitesvara Buddha enter nirvana, Mahasthamprapta
Bodhisattva will attain Buddhahood and become Buddha replace
Avalokitesvara Buddha in that world and that world will have a
different name.
I wish very much the sutra is available in english. I will try to
find it.
In Sutra of Contemplation of Amitabha Buddha. Shakyamuni Buddha
also taught about Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva and described him a
little bit. In Shurangama sutra on chapter Mahasthamprata
Bodhisattva, Shakyamuni Buddha also taught a little bit about
him.
Namo Amitabha Buddha.
Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
Namo Mahasthamprapta Bodhisattva.
Namo Amitabha Buddha.
