Prajna Paramita Sutra in 32 Chapters by Sylvain Chamberlain-Nyudo Pdf

This is a reprint of a full compilation of Chinese translated Sanskrit and Buddhist hybrid texts written on the Perfection of Wisdom teachings known as the Prajna-Paramita Sutra and published in many versions from 300 lines to 100,000 lines and many versions in between. I believe this to be the most complete version, although the reader is to be aware that the central teaching in all versions is the same. I find it is more clearly understood with the typical excess of information in the format of the ancient teachings from India, which in this case, provide that the central message is not in fact, on emptiness, but on the perception of "bodies". This follows the Buddhas meditation instruction in the Satipatthana Sutta to calm or quell the "formations" of the body. It is in the deep understanding of the void of quiescent energy and the Amala consciousness that we can grasp the formations that lead to the false duality presented in samsara.

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 7 by Naichen Chen Pdf

Sakyamuni Buddha taught The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra in sixteen assemblies in four locations over twenty-two years. It was recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles of approximately five million words and is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. The Sanskrit original was translated into Chinese by Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang) during the seventh century (from 660 through 663). This text is now available in English. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching, but because it explains what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It depicts, manifests, and provides guidance on how one should learn to become a bodhisattva—and eventually a Buddha—transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment. Regardless of where you are on the path to enlightenment, you will be nourished by its parables and dialogues.

The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra, Volume 2 by Anonim Pdf

Buddha taught The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra in sixteen assemblies in four locations over twenty-two years. It was recorded posthumously by his disciples in six hundred fascicles of approximately five million words and is regarded as the largest canon in Buddhism. For the last decade, translator Naichen Chen has worked on this sutra, and it is the only complete English translation from the Chinese Da Bo Re Bo Luo Mi Duo Jing rendered from Sanskrit about 1,350 years ago by Xuanzang (Hsüan-tsang). This is the second volume in a multivolume set. The Great Prajna Paramita Sutra is important not only because of its extensive teaching, but because it explains what the great bodhisattva, the great bodhisattva path of cultivation, and the great bodhisattva vehicle are. It depicts, manifests, and provides guidance on how one should learn to become a bodhisattva—and eventually a Buddha—transcending self-interest to reach a state of emptiness, selflessness, and nonattachment.

The Outline of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra by Victor Chiang Pdf

The Outline of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra The Rev. Master Xuanzang translated Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra during 660-663 A.D.(commonly called Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra). According to the narration of American scholar Sally Honey Wriggins in his book Xuanzang: A Buddhist Pilgrim on the Silk Road, Westview Press, 1966, "Xuanzhang returned to China with three copies of the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. Xuanzang, with a team of disciple translators, commenced translating the voluminous work in 660 A.D., using all three versions to ensure the integrity of the source documentation " .( P.206 ) The Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra translated by Xuanzang, is composed of 600 volumes, 4 places and 16 assemblies, 200,000 verses all together. Assembly one consist of total 132,600 verses, 79 chapters, 400 volumes. The first book of 100,000-verses' Satasahasrika Prajnaparamita mentioned above by Dharma Master Dongchu is not completely the same as Assembly I of this 400 volumes newly translated by Xuanzang. After Xuanzang completed translation of Maha Prajnaparamita Sutra in 664 A.D., he said, "This sutra is the foundation for governing a country and a great treasure for the human and heaven beings." Afterwards, Master went on to translate and spread the basic thoughts, sutras and shastras of Dharma Nature School. Three Shastra, Tiantai and Chan Sect in China, which belong to the School of Non being (Emptiness), are all derived from Prajna thoughts; Consciousness Only, Huayan and Tantra sects, which belong to the School of Being, are derived partly from Prajna thoughts and partly from Yogachara ideas. The compiler of this "Digest of Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra " is Victor Chiang who is the founder of Buddhist Tripitaka Foundation, a researcher at Dept. of Religious Studies of Peking University(2008) and visiting professor at China Min Zhu University(2008) .

Introduction to the Lotus Sutra by Yoshiro Tamura Pdf

The Lotus Sutra--one of the most popular Buddhist classics--is here accessibly introduced by one of its most eminent scholars. "Soon after entering university in December of 1943, I was sent to the front as a student soldier. I wondered if I were allowed to bring but a single book on the trip, possibly to my death, which would I want to bring. It was the Lotus Sutra" -- from the author's Preface. Having developed a lifelong appreciation of the Lotus Sutra -- even carrying a dog-eared copy with him through service in World War II -- Yoshiro Tamura sought to author an introduction to this beloved work of Buddhist literature. Tamura wanted it to be different than other basic explorations of the text; his introduction would be plain-spoken, relevant and sensitive to modern concerns, and well-informed by contemporary scholarship. He succeeded marvelously with Introduction to the Lotus Sutra, which Gene Reeves -- Tamura's student and translator of the popular English edition of The Lotus Sutra -- translates and introduces in English for the first time here. Tackling issues of authenticity in the so-called "words of Buddha," the influence of culture and history on the development of the Lotus Sutra, and the sutra's role in Japanese life, Introduction to the Lotus Sutra grounds this ancient work of literature in the real, workaday world, revealing its continued appeal across the ages.

Love in the Religions of the World by Paul Caringella,Gregory Kaplan Pdf

The study of comparative religion is no longer a matter merely for those interested in religion – it is a matter of concern for everybody. For irrespective of whether one believes in God, religion is a major characteristic of identity. And in the post 9/11 world, every educated person is aware of how important it is to understand what others believe. This collection of essays by international scholars emerged from an intense and powerful dialogue at the University of Hong Kong about love in the major religions of the world. Eschewing the comforting, but ultimately erroneous and dangerous idea that all religions believe more or less the same thing, each essay examines the role and nature of love in a major religion of the world. It is an invaluable guide for students, teachers and the general reader wanting to cut through the morass of doctrinal differences and emphases in the world’s religions. It also makes an important contribution to the urgent issue of dialogue amongst faiths and cultures.

A Modern History of China's Art Market by Kejia Wu Pdf

This is the first English-language account of the modern history of China’s art market that explains the radical transformations from the end of the Cultural Revolution, when a market for art and artifacts did not exist, to today. The book is divided into three sections: Part I examines how the art market in China was suspended during the Cultural Revolution, restarted, grew, and expanded into its current scale. Part II analyzes the distinctive value system of the Chinese art market where the state-run art system including academies, artist associations and museums co-exist with an independent market-oriented system; and traverses the most significant policies that drive decision-making and market structure. Part III explores the driving force of art creation by telling the stories of five contemporary artists across three generations. Arts and culture professionals, scholars, and students interested in Chinese art, global art markets, Chinese government policy, and China will find this to be a valuable resource.

The Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel by Andrew H. Plaks Pdf

Andrew Plaks reinterprets the great texts of Chinese fiction known as the "Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel" (ssu ta ch'i-shu). Arguing that these are far more than collections of popular narratives, Professor Plaks shows that their fullest recensions represent a sophisticated new genre of Chinese prose fiction arising in the late Ming dynasty, especially in the sixteenth century. He then analyzes these radical transformations of prior source materials, which reflect the values and intellectual concerns of the literati of the period. Originally published in 1987. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
