Sunset Towers The Avatamsaka Buddhist Monastery of Canada 1650 - 1655 on Haro Street and Barclay Street Vancouver BC Canada Avatamsaka is a Sanskrit word taken from the Avatamsaka Sutra and it was the first Buddhist Holy Scripture spoken by Shakyamuni Buddha upon His Enlightenment some 2560 years ago to all beings within His Buddha Land Saahaa simultaneously and in real time in the respective languages of the audience so that each being listening to the Sutra hears it in their own tongue. The word Avatamsaka in English means adornment, ornament, embellishment, beautification and so on and so forth.
