The Smaller Sukhavativyuha Sutra (Skt. Sukhāvatīvyūhasūtra; Tib. བདེ་བ་ཅན་གྱི་བཀོད་པའི་མདོ་ , dewachen gyi köpé do, Wyl. bde ba can gyi bkod pa'i mdo), which takes place in the Jeta Grove, contains a description of the Sukhavati pure realm of Buddha Amitabha.

The Sanskrit term vyūha (Tib. བཀོད་པ་, köpa, Wyl. bkod pa) means display: the sutra is a description of the Sukhavati pure realm and its characteristics.

Tibetan Text

It was translated into Tibetan from Sanskrit by Shyang Yeshé Dé.
