Sarvakṣetra (सर्वक्षेत्र) refers to “all fields of perception”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, the Lord went on to speak these verses: ‘[...] (85) All fields of perception (sarvakṣetra) are not being like fields of perception. All dharmas (sarvadharma) are distinct from (pravivikta) being like any dharma. All beings (sarvasatva) are same as beings without the self (anātman). The insight investigating with intelligence knows this. [...]’”.
