"The Brahmā's Net Sutra, translated by A. Charles Muller and Kenneth K. Tanaka, is
the primary extant vinaya text that articulates a set of precepts from a Mahayana
perspective, mainly intended for "bodhisattva practitioners," primarily householders,
rather than renunciant monks or nuns. Before the appearance of this text the monastic
rules and regulations in East Asian Buddhism were defined fully by the "Hinayana"
vinaya, most importantly the Fourt-part Vinaya associated with the Dharmaguptaka school
in India. With the appearance of the Brahmā's Net Sutra many East Indian schools
diversified their precept practices, with some groups of practitioners taking up either
set of precepts, often utilizing both. Composed in China around 420, the Brahmā's
Net Sutra is based on various contemporary Mahayana and Hinayana vinaya writings and
includes extensive discussion of indigenous Chinese moral concepts such as filial
piety, etc. The text is based in the same mainstream Mahayana thought of the Flower
Ornament Sutra (Huayan jing), the Nirvana Sutra (Niepan jing), and the Sutra for Humane
Kings (Renwang jing). In fact, the extend of the Brahmā's Net Sutra's agreement with
the Flower Ornament Sutra is so pronounced that it is regarded as the "concluding
sutra" of the latter."--Page 4 of cover
