Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSamatāpraveśa (समताप्रवेश) refers to the “entrance into the sameness”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Having entered into the way of the realm of the dharma, he knows the fact that [...] there is no duality of the eighty-four thousand masses of religious teaching, the eighty-four thousand kinds of behaviour or all dharmas and the realm of the dharma; why?—because all dharmas have the nature of the realm of the dharma. The Bodhisattva knows all dharmas since the dharma which is the entrance into the sameness (samatāpraveśa) is united with all dharmas. Son of good family, this is the entering into the way of the dharma of the Bodhisattva. [...]”.
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.
