Garland of Jewels: The Eight Great Bodhisattvas. A collection of stories on the eight great bodhisattvas compiled by Jamgon Mipham.

These stories are all taken from sutras and tantras taught by the buddha, such as the Avatamsaka Sutra and the Lotus Sutra. They were collected and edited by Jamgon Mipham.[1]

Stories about the activities and magical displays of these bodhisattvas are meant to inspire readers and demonstrate the inconceivable nature of the Mahayana path.[1]
