  • Aśvaghoṣa and His Canonical Sources II Yaśas, the Kāśyapa Brothers and the Buddha’S Arrival in Rājagha (Buddhacarita 16.3–71) *
    Aśvaghoṣa and his canonical sources II Yaśas, the Kāśyapa brothers and the Buddha’s arrival in Rājagha (Buddhacarita 16.3–71) * Vincent Eltschinger Introduction According to Paramārtha’s (499–569) Life of Vasubandhu (T. 2049), Aśva ghoṣa played a major role in the composition of the Mahā vibhāṣā, a/the literary outcome of the synod held in Kaśmīr at the invitation of the Abhidharma scholar Kātyāyanīputra.1 As this account has it, Aśvaghoṣa committed to literary Sanskrit what Kāt yā yanīputra, 500 arhats and 500 bodhisattvas dictated to him.2 * Most sincere thanks are due to Jens-Uwe Hartmann, Isabelle Ratié, Richard Salomon and Vincent Tournier for their careful reading of this paper and their many suggestions. 1 On this synod, see Frauwallner 1952: 250–256 and Willemen/Dessein/ Cox 1998: 116–121. For Paramārtha’s account, see T. 2049, 189a1–26 (Taka- kusu 1904: 276–279), and below, n. 2. 2 Takakusu 1904: 278–279: “The Bodhisattva, Ma-ming (Aśvaghoṣa), who was a native of Sha-ki-ta (Sāketa) of the country of Sha-yei (Śrāvastī), was well versed in the eight divisions of the Bi-ka-la (vyākaraṇa) treatise, in the four Vedas, and the six treatises on them (vedāṅgas), and was con- versant with the Tripiṭakas of all the eighteen (Buddhist) schools. He was the Laureate of Literature, the Treasury of Learning, the Home of every Virtue. Kātyāyanīputra sent an envoy to Śrāvastī to invite Aśvaghoṣa in or- der to embellish for him the literary compositions. When Aśvaghoṣa came to Ki-pin (Kaśmīra), Kātyāyanīputra expounded the eight books [of the Jñānaprasthāna, VE] in succession.

Angowski Literature and the Moral Life: Reading the Early Biography of the Tibetan Queen Yeshe Tsogyal ABSTRACT In two parts, this dissertation offers a study and readings of the Life Story of Yeshé Tsogyal, a fourteenth-century hagiography of an eighth-century woman regarded as the matron saint of Tibet. Focusing on Yeshé Tsogyal's figurations in historiographical and hagiographical literature, I situate my study of this work, likely the earliest full-length version of her life story, amid ongoing questions in the study of religion about how scholars might best view and analyze works of literature like biographies, especially when historicizing the religious figure at the center of an account proves difficult at best.

  • Sang Hyang Kamahāyānikan: Translation and Analytical Study
    Sang Hyang Kamahāyānikan: Translation and Analytical Study Ven. Budi Utomo Ph.D. (Bhikkhu Ditthisampanno) Lecture and Principal of Smaratungga Buddhist College, Indonesia. Ph.D. Candidate in Buddhist Studies, Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. [email protected] Abstract This dissertation has three objectives, namely: 1. to examine the origin and historical development of The Sanghyang Kamahayanikan; 2. to study the main concept of The Sanghyang Kamahayanikan; 3. to analyze and critique the versions of the Sanghyang Kamahayanikan. This Dissertation is a documentary research. The data and observations are limited to the Sanghyang Kamahayanikan text, translation, interpretation and explanation. Sanghyang Kamahayanikan is an esoteric Buddhist text. Venerable Mpu Shri Sambhara Surya Warama it about 929-947 C from East Java, the successor of Mataram Kingdom, which was shifted to there. The oldest literature was found at Lombok Island in 1900 CE. Professor Yunboll discussed it in 1908 and it was translated into the Dutch language by J. deKatt in 1910. Later, Professor Wuff inspected it. The text is restricted for the teachings in the Mahayana school, with focus on the tantric path of the Yogacara School using Mantranaya or the Mantra method. The text has been divided into two parts, each of which can be read independently. The fi rst section entitled Sang Hyang Kamahayanan Mantranaya, consists of 42 Sanskrit verses, each with a related commentary in elaborate old Javanese and regrouped under 11 subtopics and a conclusion. The second section consists of instructions in 86 verses, written mainly in old Javanese, with a few middle level Sanskrit references. Both texts belong to the same school and are connected.

  • The Disciplines of Buddhist Studies
    THE DISCIPLINES OF BUDDHIST STUDIES NOTES ON RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT AS BOUNDARY-MARKER OLIVER FREIBERGER In their contributions to the 1995 special issue of the Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies on method, José Cabezón and Luis Gómez masterfully analyze the state of Buddhist Studies and discuss the implications, challenges, and opportuni- ties of refl ecting on method and theory in the fi eld.1 Their analysis shows that there is a strong coherence in Buddhist Studies: It fea- tures a common subject matter, “Buddhism” (– however that term may be defi ned in academic practice), various institutions (profes- sional associations, peer-reviewed journals, professorships and chairs, graduate programs, etc.), and a recorded academic history.2 1 José Ignacio Cabezón, “Buddhist Studies as a Discipline and the Role of Theory,” in: Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies 18 (1995): 231–268; Luis O.

  • Dharmak¯Irti Against the Pudgala
    2013 copyright Association for the Study of Indian Philosophy Dharmak¯ırtiagainst the pudgala∗ Vincent Eltschinger / Isabelle Rati´e The rise to prominence of the V¯ats¯ıputr¯ıyas and especially the S¯am. mit¯ıyas,(1) two Buddhist sects noted for their defence of a \person" (pudgala) that cannot be said (avakatavya, av¯acya) to be either the same or different from the constituents (skandha), is very likely to have aroused a heated controversy as regards the ontological status of the pudgala, the Buddha's didactic intentions while referring to it as well as its soteriological relevance. Taking into th consideration the fact that the S¯am. mit¯ıyas had become, by the middle of the 7 century, the numerically most important among the Buddhist Sr¯avakay¯anistdenominations,´ this contro- versy raises very interesting sociohistorical and methodological questions as regards the use of such categories as \orthodoxy" and \heterodoxy" in the Indian Buddhist context. And indeed, the anti-Personalist doctors showed no unanimity as to whether their Pudgalav¯adin opponents were co-religionists (svay¯uthya(2)) or not, i.e. genuine Buddhists (bauddha(3)) capable of obtaining the highest fruit of religious life, or rather pseudo-, purely nominal Bud- dhists (saugatam. manya(4)) espousing the outsiders' doctrines (anta´scarat¯ırthika, \outsiders from within"(5)).(6) Extant Sanskrit and/or (translational) Tibetan literature records three ∗ The present study has been made possible by the generous financial support of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF-Projekt P19862: \Philosophische und religi¨oseLiteratur des Buddhismus"). Part of the preliminary research work (VE) has been carried out in Kyoto (Ryukoku University) thanks to the Numata Foundation.
