VISWAROOP form of "Swambhunatha"
" You are buddha ,you are Bodhisattva,you are sravakas,you are Brahma,you are #VISHNU ,you are shiva ... "
~Svayaṁbhūstavaḥ,Buddhist Strotram,verse no.2

Iconography of Swambhunatha is described in vajrayana BUDDHIST tradition ; heavily revered by Newar BUDDHISTs and Tibetans
In Kathmandu there is beautiful Sambhunath stupa temple
Swambhu-Purana( Buddhist) describes Importance of Swambhunath and history of Kathmandu valley

Look at other acknowledgement of #Vishnu in Buddhist Strotras as a subordinate deity :-
• place of Vishnu (विष्णु भूमि) in Caityavandanāstotram,verse-3
• Vishnu as deity in āryatārāsragdharāstotram30,
Lokeshwershatkam 59,Bhaktishatkam3-5
•In Buddhagaṇḍīstavaḥ 26 , interestingly ,Vishnu is referred as "bhagwan"
Likewise there are many references of VISHNU in all orthodox BUDDHISM
I hereby ending my series

Lanka was originally owned by Kuber.
He was the dikpal of North Direction and King of Gandharva Lok.
When Daityas Mali, Sumali and Malyavant couldn't defeat him in battle, they sent their sister to Sage Vishrava who was father of Kuber. pic.twitter.com/9tEcyVGbXT
The first chapter of the Lankavatara-sutra describes that Lord Buddha once incarnated along with many of his disciples, on the Malay mountain near Lankanagari.
The Tathagata Buddha began to preach with his powerful voice, which began to resonate in the sky(2/n)
Yakshadhiraja Ravana, sitting in the lankanagari at the bottom of the mountain, could not understand this mystery ; Curious when Ravana meditated, he saw that Lord Buddha is giving sermons on the Malay Mountains among many snakes and girls and surrounded by many disciples
(3/n)
Seeing such a divine vision, Mahatma Ravana had a fervent desire that 'I too should appear before God and take advantage of his visions and pray with respect to him that he should visit Lankanagari and do welfare of the Lankavasis (4/n)
Ravana proceeded towards the Malay with Yaksha-kanya and Divyangas on a chariot equipped with many flowers Lankadhipati Ravana, having reached there, performed three revolutions of Lord Buddha while sitting in the chariot
