2.32

Question: The Avataṃsaka Sūtra states: 'All Buddhas are equal; only when they possess the fulfillment of all practices and the fulfillment of original vows do they achieve correct awakening and receive the title "Doubly Honored One".' Now the Bhaiṣajyaguru Sūtra states only that Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabha Buddha made twelve great vows when originally practicing the bodhisattva path, while the Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra, the Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka Sūtra, and so forth state that Amitābha Buddha made forty-eight vows when first generating the bodhicitta and practicing the bodhisattva path. These differ from the text of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra; what is the meaning of this?
