What has been transmitted to the Eastern lands is merely a fraction. Tradition says that in the West the Sanskrit text covered one yojana, and its corresponding separate circulations were likewise so (and so forth). As for those that have come to this land: The Amitārtha-sūtra in one fascicle is the introductory section. In the second year of Jianyuan in the reign of Emperor Gao \[of Southern Qi\], the Indian monk Dharmagatayaśas—translated into Qi as Fashengcheng—translated it with his own hand at Chaoting Monastery in Guangzhou. The recipient was the monk Huibiao, who, in the third year of Yongming, brought it to the capital, Yangdu. The Guan Puxian xingfa jing in one fascicle forms its conclusion. In the first year of Yuanjia under the Song, Dharmamitra—also called Dharmamitra, translated into Song as Faxiu—a man of Jibin, translated it at Yangdu. Later, Dharma Master Paramārtha composed a separate record, which circulated in the world. As for those circulating independently: The Fo yi sanche huan zi jing in one fascicle, translated by Zhi Qian of the Wei dynasty, is a duplicate translation of the "Parable" chapter in the main text. The Guangshiyin jing in one fascicle was translated in the second year of Yongjia under the Western Jin by Dharmarakṣa. The Pumenpin jing in one fascicle was translated during the Eastern Jin dynasty by the monk Qiduomi. The Guanshiyin jing in one fascicle was translated under the Later Qin by Kumārajīva at Xiaoyao Park in Chang'an. The Guanshiyin jing in one fascicle was translated under the Song dynasty by Jingsheng, the Marquis of Anyang, at Gaochang. The Pumen chongsong ji in one fascicle was translated under the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang at Longquan Monastery in Yizhou by the monk Jñānagupta from Gandhāra in North India, together with Prince Qiao of Liang, Yuwen. The above five texts are duplicate translations of the "Universal Gate" chapter in the main text. There is also a Pumenpin jing in one fascicle of fifteen sheets, which is a duplicate translation of the Mañjuśrī Assembly in the Mahāratnakūṭa, and not an offshoot of the Lotus Sūtra. The Miaofa lianhua jing t婆daduo pin in one fascicle was translated by Kumārajīva; palace officials in Chang'an extracted it from within the large corpus for independent circulation. The Miaofa lianhua jing t婆daduo pin in one fascicle was revised, supplemented, and embellished by the Chen dynasty monk Paramārtha from Kumārajīva's text. Another version of the same chapter in one fascicle: during the Yongming era of the Xiao Qi, the monk Faxian obtained a Sanskrit text from Khotan, and translated it together with Baoyi at Waguan Monastery in Yangzhou. The above three texts are a single chapter from the main text. The Fahua guangrui pusa xianrui jing in three fascicles was translated at Jiaozhou by the monk Zhi Jiangliang; it is a duplicate translation of the "Introduction" and "Lifespan" chapters of the main text. The six spells of Bhaiṣajyarāja Bodhisattva and others of the Lotus Sūtra were translated in the Yonghui era of the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang. Most of these have lost their texts. Only Kumārajīva's "Universal Gate" chapter circulated independently in the Western Sea region. Why is this? Dharmakṣema—translated here as Fafeng—a man of Central India of the brāhmaṇa caste, also called Ipalekha Bodhisattva, had the dissemination of teachings as his aspiration, traveled and taught across the Congling Mountains, and arrived in Hexi. The King of Hexi, Juqu Mengxun, took refuge in the correct Dharma and was also afflicted with an illness. When he spoke to the bodhisattva, \[the bodhisattva\] said: "Avalokiteśvara has karmic affinities with this land." He instructed him to recite \[the chapter\], and his suffering from illness was immediately dispelled. For this reason, this one chapter was transmitted separately and circulated outside the main corpus. Furthermore, there is the Fahua sanmei jing, which is an offshoot and not a separate composition. There is also the Sa-tan f陀li jing in one fascicle, the "Treasure Stūpa and Devadatta Chapters", which is rarely seen circulating in the world and is not upheld by people; ancient catalogues note it as translated by Dharmarakṣa, while Tang dynasty catalogues attach it to the catalogue of lost translations. There is also the Gaowang Guanshiyin jing; although it possesses unseen resonances, it did not originate from transmission and translation, so it cannot be counted as an offshoot, nor is it a separate composition. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [歷代三寶紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2034.11.55) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2068.1.11) · Pramāṇa
