西方合論 3.5

3.5

一、經中之經者：一、《無量平等清淨覺經》；二、《無量壽經》；三、《阿彌陀經》；四、《無量壽莊嚴經》；五、出《寶積》第十八經，名《無量壽如來會》。五經同一梵本，前四譯稍不精。六、即《大阿彌陀經》，龍舒居士，將前四譯和會者，佛在王舍國靈鷲山，為阿難、慈氏等說；中間出《寶積》者，旨富詞法，不知龍舒何以不見此本？

1. The warp within the warp: First, the *Wuliang pingdeng qingjing jue jing*; second, the *Sukhāvatīvyūha-sūtra*; third, the *Amitābha-sūtra*; fourth, the *Wuliangshou zhuangyan jing*; fifth, the eighteenth assembly from the *Ratnakūṭa*, entitled *Wuliangshou rulai hui*. These five sūtras derive from the same Sanskrit text, and the first four translations are slightly unrefined. Sixth is the *Da Amituo jing*, which Upāsaka Longshu compiled by combining the previous four translations; the Buddha expounded it on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in the country of Rājagṛha for Ānanda, Maitreya, and others. The one from the *Ratnakūṭa* in between is rich in meaning and normative in diction; I do not know why Longshu did not see this text.
