The Prophecy Concerning Strivivarta (Skt. Strīvivartavyākaraṇa; Tib. བུད་མེད་འགྱུར་བ་ལུང་བསྟན་པ།, Wyl. bud med ’gyur ba lung bstan pa) In this sutra, Subhuti, one of the Buddha’s close disciples, enters into a discussion with several individuals in the course of his alms rounds. His primary interlocutor is a laywoman who reveals herself to be a bodhisattva great being named Strivivarta; her teachings are profound and challenging, consistently pointing in the direction of ultimate truth. The sutra culminates in the Buddha prophesying Strivivarta’s future awakening.[1]
