The Mahāyānottaratantra-Śāstra, in short Uttara-Tantra, is the last of five treatises composed by Asaṅga in the 4th century, containing the teachings of Buddha Maitreya. This work describes the highest teaching (uttara-tantra) of the Mahāyāna and includes, among other things, important instructions on the so-called Buddha-nature.
