		The Platform Sutra of Huineng might be considered a semi-canonical text, it is one of a very few texts not thought to be spoken by the Buddha that has the label "sutra".
		The Golden Light Sutra became especially influential in Japan where one of its chapters, on the Universal Sovereign, was used by the Japan Emperors in legitimise their rule, and it provided a model for the well run state.
		The Gandhavyuha sutra is thought to be the source of a cult of Vairocana that later gave rise to the Mahavairocana-adhisambodhi tantra which became one of two central texts in Shingon Buddhism, and is included in the Tibetan canon as a carya class tantra.

		There are three major sutras which fall into this category: the Infinite Life Sutra, also known as the Larger Pure Land Sutra; the Amitabha Sutra, also known as the Smaller Pure Land Sutra; and the Contemplation Sutra or Visualization Sutra.
		The well-known Lankavatara Sutra, composed sometime around the 4th Century CE, is sometimes included in this group, although it should be noted that it is somewhat syncretic in nature, combining pure Yogacara doctrines with those of the tathagata-garbha system, and was unknown or ignored by the progenitors of the Yogacara system.
		Especially the Tathagatagarbha Sutra, the Shriimaalaadeviisimhanaada Sutra and the Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra (which is very different in character from the Pali Mahaparinibbana Sutta).

		Based on the Sutra of Golden Light and the Benevolent King Sutra, they effectively identified the king, who played a central role in the rites, with the Universal Wheel-Turning King, that is the Buddha, as protector of the nation just as the Buddha is protector of the dharma, or universal law.

		The sun is the great distributor of light and other radiations, including vital energy, throughout the solar system, and is itself a member of a hierarchy of solar beings.
		At the other end of the line, at the consummation of the evolution in this maha-manvantara, when the evolving entity has become a fully self-conscious god or divinity, its proper appellation then is agnishvatta, for it has been "sweetened" or purified by means of the working through it of the spiritual fires inherent in itself.
		Now then, when such an agnishvatta assumes the role of a bringer of mind or of intellectual light to a lunar pitri which it overshadows and in which a ray from it incarnates, it then, although in its own realm an agnishvatta, functions as a manasaputra or child of mind or mahat.

		The idea of the immeasurability of the Buddha’s life, however, arose during the formative period of Mahayana Buddhism, being found in the Shorter Perfection of Insight Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and the Sutra on the Endless Life of the Buddha, all of which are relatively early texts.
		The concept of “emptiness” is not emphasized and indeed occurs infrequently in the Lotus Sutra.
		Interestingly enough, the Sukhavativyuha Sutra, the oldest of the three sutras given prominence by Pure Land Buddhists, is known in Sino-Japanese as Muryojukyo, that is “Sutra on the Immeasurable life,” meaning in this case the immeasurable life of the Buddha Amitabha.
