The Avalokini Sutra (Skt. Avalokinīsūtra; Tib. སྤྱན་རས་གཟིགས་ཀྱི་མདོ།, Wyl. spyan ras gzigs kyi mdo) takes place in the city of Rajagriha, where the Buddha teaches on the benefits that result from honouring the stupas of awakened beings. The major part of this teaching consists in the Buddha detailing the many positive rewards obtained by those who worship the buddhas’ stupas with offerings, such as flowers, incense, and lamps.[1]
