The Jewel Heap (Ratnakuta) Sutra

[Vouthon]

Does anyone know where I might find online an English translation of this Sutra?

I am deeply interested in it from what I have read regarding it; the reputed sophistication of its philosophy and its influence on Nagarjuna.

The Ratnakuta is actually a collection of 49 other sutras, including the Longer Amitabha sutra and one of the Prajna Paramita sutras. If you can find a list of the sutras it contains online, you can find the relevant sutras.

Ah, that would explain why I haven't yet found it. Thank you.

The sutra of Three Heaps also known in English as the 35 Buddhas of Confession sutra is in print online in many places.

The version with much of Nagarjuna's commentary was translated many years ago & is still in print:
