LORD VISHNU IN BUDDHISM -X

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
