Sarvasattvapriyadarśana (सर्वसत्त्वप्रियदर्शन) is the name of a Bodhisattva according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XX). Accordingly, “In a previous existence, the Buddha Śākyamuni was a recluse (ṛṣi) who, seeing the grace and beauty of the Buddha Kiao tch’en (Kauṇḍinya) threw himself at the feet of this Buddha from the top of a high mountain; then, with peaceful body, he stood to one side. – He was also the Bodhisattva Tchong cheng hi kien (Sarvasattvapriyadarśana) who offered his body as a lamp to the Buddha Je yue kouang tö (Candrasūryavimalaprabhāsaśrī).”.
