The King of Prayers is a revered prayer, also known as the Aspiration of Mahāyāna, found in the Avatamsaka Sutra (Flower Garland Sutra). It is a profound expression of the Bodhisattva path, in which the practitioner makes vows to attain Buddhahood not for personal gain, but for the sake of liberating all sentient beings. The prayer emphasizes compassion, wisdom, and the dedication to practice the six perfections (paramitas) in order to benefit others. It is often recited by practitioners to reaffirm their commitment to the Bodhisattva ideal of selfless service and universal welfare.

The King of Glorious Sutras called the Exalted Sublime Golden Light Sutra is a Mahāyāna Buddhist text that emphasizes the protective and blessing powers of the Buddha's teachings. The sutra highlights the importance of moral conduct, compassion, and the practice of the Dharma for the well-being of all beings. It also extols the qualities of the Buddha and emphasizes the role of rulers in upholding the Dharma to ensure peace and prosperity.

The Sutra on the Contemplation of Amitayus is focused on the practice of meditation and visualization of Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life. The sutra emphasizes the power of contemplating Amitayus, whose infinite life and wisdom can lead practitioners to attain rebirth in his Pure Land, a realm free from suffering where one can work towards enlightenment. It outlines practices of visualization, chanting, and devotion to Amitayus, highlighting the importance of cultivating a deep connection with the Buddha to secure a favorable rebirth and eventual Buddhahood.
