In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāBhāvayitavya (भावयितव्य) refers to “(that which is to be) cultivated”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as Gaganagañja said to Ratnaśrī: “[...] Accordingly, when the Bodhisattva calculates the dharma in the conditioned, measures it in his consciousness, and reflects on it in the right way, he never sees any dharma which is to be fully known, to be eliminated, to be realized, or to be cultivated (bhāvayitavya). Since the Bodhisattva never sees any dharma, he does not establish any dharma. Where he does not establish any dharma, there is the attainment of the absence of basis. Where he attains the absence of basis, there is not anything to be wanted. Where there is nothing to be wanted, there is nothing to be obtained. Since he is free from mental conception, there is nothing related to the self or nothing to be grasped”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
