Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraBuddhasamādhi (बुद्धसमाधि) refers to the “(royal) concentrations of the Buddhas”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 40.—Accordingly: The Buddha utters the lion’s roar. He is like the king of the lions (siṃharāja). [...] The Buddha-lion is very similar. [...] The ten powers are his enormous strength. The collection of the pure dharmas is his perfect body. The royal concentrations of the Buddhas (buddhasamādhi-rāja) are the den out of which he comes. It is with the four unhindered knowledges that he stretches out. It is on the earth of the dharmas that he strikes the paw of his unhindered liberations. [...]
