Asaṃbheda (असंभेद) refers to “homogeneity”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly as The Lord said: “Śāriputra, the Tathāgata Ekaratnavyūha, seating in the lion’s throne thus, explained the dharma-seal called Gaganapariśuddhi to these Bodhisattvas, which has thirty-two aspects of entrance. What is this Dharma-seal (dharmamudrā) called Gaganapariśuddhi which has thirty-two aspects of entrance? [...] 7) all dharmas are without duality because of their homogeneity (asaṃbheda); 8) all dharmas are without difference as they can be approached with one principle (ekanayapraveśa); 9) all dharmas can be approached with one principle since they have no essential character of proper being (svabhāva-lakṣaṇa); [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
