Translated in Chinese by Indian Buddhist scholar, Dharmakṣema; the Buddhist scripture, The Compassionate White Lotus Flower Sutra (悲華經). The sutra describes before Avalokiteśvara (觀世音), cultivate himself to Buddhism; under Gautama Buddha (釋迦牟尼), alongside with his father Chakravarti (轉輪王) and his younger brother. Avalokiteśvara, in earlier times was the eldest son of Chakravarti formerly recognised as, “不煦”, and his younger brother as, “尼摩”. Under the practice of Gautama Buddha, Chakravarti (father of Avalokiteśvara) was given a dharma name, Amitābha “阿弥陀佛”; eldest son of Chakravarti, ordained as Avalokiteśvara “觀世音菩薩”; and youngest son of Chakravarti, ordained under the name Mahāsthāmaprāpta “大勢至菩薩”.
