Book excerpt: "The study of apocryphal texts is probably the single most important task facing Chinese Buddhist studies today. This volume has done much to get it off on the right foot." --Journal of Asian Studies 50 (1991) "Few books of scholarly essays are this ambitious. The editor ... intends to introduce not just new studies, but a new field of study.... However, rather than marking the birth of Buddhist apocrypha studies, the book ... successfully demonstrates its early maturity." --Monumenta Serica 40 (1992) "The essays are without exception meticulous in scholarship and path-finding in significance." --Journal of Chinese Religions 20 (1992)

Download or read book A Study of the Buddhist S tra Called S kiz Y km k Yaruq Or S kiz T rl gin Yarum Yaltr m in Old Turkic written by Juten Oda and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of a scripture translated into Old Turkic from the apocryphal Chinese Bayangjing contains the reconstruction of the Old Turkic text and a comparison of the reconstructed text with the extant original Chinese text, as well as the Tibetan and Mongolian translations. Judging from the quantitative and linguistic abundance of extant Turkic fragments and their rich content, there can be little doubt that this scripture circulated widely and over a long period of time among Uighur Buddhists from the 10th century onwards. In a collection of Buddhist essays (in China dating from 1155), there are some three thousand copies of the fabricated Bayangjing. This was probably a reference to the popularity of scriptures such as the fabricated (i.e. apocryphal) Bayangjing which was not included in the official canon because it did not go back to an Indian original but was composed in China. Despite its apocryphal nature, it should also be noted that the Bayangjing includes scathing criticism of the yin-yang theory and undue concern for good and bad fortune. Furthermore, according to a review, it may be a Buddhist gospel of liberation from taboos and divination. The reconstructed text is provided in a critical edition, and the volume contains variae lectiones, an English translation, the text of the Chinese original (with English translation), together with notes on Buddhist terminology and Old Turkic terms, a complete comparative table of the texts, a bibliography, an index of Old Turkic words and suffixes, and plates of one of the Chinese originals.

Download or read book Interpretation of the Buddha Land The written by Bandhuprabha and published by BDK America. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth-century commentary on the Buddhabhûmi-sûtra is one of the earliest texts of the Yogâcâra tradition. It includes an introductory description of the setting in which it was preached by the Buddha; the main body of the text, which treats the five factors that constitute a Buddha land, i.e., the Pure Dharma Realm and the four wisdoms: mirror wisdom, equality wisdom, discernment wisdom, and duty-fulfillment wisdom; and a concluding section of two illustrative similes and four summary verses. The overall theme of these texts is that the Pure Land is not a physical location, but a symbol of the mind of wisdom - constituted by the five factors of the Pure Dharma Realm and the four wisdoms. These four wisdoms, grounded in the Pure Dharma Realm, present the varied structure of wisdom as conceived by Yogacara thinkers. Mirror wisdom and equality wisdom are nondiscriminative, while discernment wisdom and duty-fulfillment wisdom distinguish the nature of bodhisattva tasks and carry them out in the world. Thus the overarching context for these texts is the tension created between the critical awareness and "deliteralization" tendency of Yogacara, and the Pure Land cultus, with its veneration of many Pure Land Buddhas and its hopes of being born in the Pure Land.
