Section 4: Summary Catalogue of Essential Scriptures for Chanting and Recitation Across the Generations

The preface says:
When we observe how the Great Sage unfolded and preached his audible teachings in accordance with the capacities [of beings], liberation from afflictions was the root, not elaborate complexity. Therefore, half a stanza of eight characters was praised as opening the Dharma-path of emptiness, and a single four-line verse was likened to a complete wish-fulfilling jewel. Extensive reading and abundant recitation do not save one from the source of rebirth; yet the constant non-preaching of Dharma is heard in its complete fullness. For this reason, the 'Dharma-practicing monk' is manifested in the canon of the Mahāsaṃnipāta, and the clear metaphor of abandoning the raft is fully set forth in the Supreme Vehicle of Prajñā. This path is manifest and has never been obscured.

Now, Vinaya Master Zhenyi of Ximing Si is broadly knowledgeable, discerning of capacities, and well-versed in contemporary customs. Wishing to promote the Dharma-store through annual cycles of chanting and recitation, but seeing that voluminous texts from retranslations mostly engender weary negligence, he conveyed this purpose to me, and I accordingly expanded upon it.

However, in recent times, chanting and recitation mostly become bogged down in voluminous texts; with dull faculties and superficial minds, people increasingly dislike extensive reading. This all depends upon a person's diligence or indolence—how could the mere number of fascicles and volumes cause such worry? How do we know this? Those of shallow and indifferent minds knit their brows upon seeing bulky scrolls, whereas those dedicated to single-minded cultivation feel bold in spirit upon beholding numerous wrappers. Judging from this, we examine the thoroughfares of human inclinations.

Originally, when the five defilements run their course and the four delusions are active, the obscuration of the traces of the sages and worthies is called meeting with adversity. They cannot be constrained by a single rule, and thus must be guided along diverse paths. Therefore, we know that naturally gifted individuals are not confined by formal speech, while guiding ordinary people in their study inevitably relies on skillful expositions as a bridge. As for the extensive and abbreviated teachings, there are no spoken words of the supreme sage that arise [in vain]; knowing the incipient signs with spiritual insight has already made clear the ordinary instruction of the mundane world.

Now, discarding excess and accommodating practical ministry, we select the great scriptures to subsume the minor sūtras, and grasp the root trunk while setting aside the branches and leaves. Though the text is concise, its meaning is expansive; though the fascicles are few, their purport is profound. This enables practitioners of chanting and recitation to see the efficacy of their scrolls day by day, and virtuous, faithful laypeople to increase their merit year by year as they open the canon. Thus, every fascicle is constantly recited without incurring the rebuke of wasting donations; every chapter brings joy of mind, ending the grave fault of reviling the Dharma.

This compilation was established out of necessity, observing beings' capacities. Facing the present situation, I sigh deeply at such decline: how has it come to this? Have you not heard that the catalogue of the dragon's ocean-store could not be completely searched even at the end of a summer retreat? When the Dharma was compiled at Mount Cakravāḍa, a hundred million elephants could not carry it all. The rock caves of the Juqu clan forever enshrine the twelve precious vehicles, and the secluded monastery of the Nāga is the permanent abode of hundreds of thousands of sacred standards. When flowing eastward to China, not one in ten thousand arrived; yet in the deep darkness of the thick night, people are weighed down by weariness and neglect; with the veil of ignorance deep, they make light of broad learning. How lamentable indeed!

Moreover, birth and death press urgently upon us; our karmic life is like the glistening light of morning dew. Mental states do not linger, and speech arises in the span of a flashing lightning bolt. As soon as one hears the doctrinal essentials, one should apply them to cultivate oneself; grasping the timely conditions in brief, one should immediately rely upon them for intuitive contemplation. What leisure is there to broadly fathom the ocean of hearing and survey all Dharma gates? Therefore, the treatise says:
'A wise person should cultivate the path and attain the fruit of liberation,
and only afterward take broad learning as an exquisite necklace.'

However, ordinary worldlings and Hīnayāna practitioners differ in their natural dispositions. If one sighs over one's inability to sit quietly and contemplate the subtle truth, one must open and read the sūtras and śāstras to enlighten the eyes and ears, illuminate one's spiritual nature, propagate principle and righteousness, discern the directions of heterodoxy and orthodoxy, transform those who have not yet heard, and exalt the rank and purport of the Buddha's tradition. Thus, as life progresses day by day, one will not fail what has been entrusted. This compilation has been established so that all may have a common refuge.

9.8.1

Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra (60 fascicles, or 50 fascicles; 1,087 sheets, 28 lines per sheet)
Translated by Buddhabhadra in the Yandu capital during the Yixi era of the Eastern Jin.
The one scripture above has fourteen different translations earlier and later, namely the Dushi [jing], the Jianbei [yiqiezhide jing], the Xinli [jing], the Shizhu [jing], the Xingxian [jing], the Luojia [jing], the Zhufa benye [jing], the Dousha [jing], the Fozang [jing], and so forth. All are excerpts and abridgements from the main text, circulated as separate chapters; their texts may appear or disappear, but their doctrinal purport is identical. Therefore, they are not catalogued here.
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra (40 fascicles, or 36 fascicles; 720 sheets)
Translated by Dharmakṣema in the Liang capital during the Xuanshi era of Juqu [Mengxun] of the Northern Liang.
The one scripture above had five translations, but their branch chapters were incomplete and insufficient for general circulation; thus the above scripture is listed to subsume the remaining texts.
Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra (40 fascicles, or 30 fascicles; 619 sheets)
Translated by Kumārajīva at the Ximing Pavilion in the Xiaoyao Garden of Chang'an during the Hongshi era of the Later Qin.
The one scripture above has ten translations earlier and later: namely the Fangguang, Guangzan, Daoxing, and Xiaopin, each having newer and older [versions], as well as the Mingdu wuji, Yiri chaopin, and so on. Overlapping and redundant, they are seldom consulted; listing the former unifies the Great Meaning in full. The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra later translated at Yuhua [Palace] sets forth the Buddha's single teaching career in sixteen assemblies, expounded according to the assemblies in some six hundred fascicles. It may be called the great path of the wisdom transcendence (jñāna/prajñā) by which the Buddhas have come, the boundless and limitless great ocean of wisdom. It is suited for veneration and offerings, but difficult to use for everyday practice. For this reason, Kumārajīva translated its śāstra in more than one thousand fascicles, but what the people of Qin transmitted omitted nine parts out of ten. Here, both sides are brought into harmony, adapting to circumstances as appropriate.
Mahāvaipulya Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra (60 fascicles, or 58 fascicles; 1,150 sheets)
The first 30 fascicles were translated by Dharmakṣema under the Northern Liang;
The latter 30 fascicles were translated by [Narendrayaśas] during the Northern Qi and Sui.
The one scripture above has fourteen translations earlier and later, namely the Da'ai [jing], Kongzang [jing], Baoji [jing], Baonü [jing], Wujinyi [jing], Achamo [jing], Baoxing [jing], Jingxing [jing], Zizaiwang [jing], Fenxunwang [jing], Xumizang [jing], Wuyan tongzi [jing], and so forth. All are records of separate chapters of the root scripture, which later people circulated separately according to section. Now they are collectively synthesised into the duplicate text, without need to unpack them for later generations.

Translated by Dharmakṣema in the Liang capital during the Xuanshi era of the Northern Liang.
The one scripture above was translated a second time, titled Dapei fentuoli jing in eight fascicles, with the translator's identity and era lost; its text and meaning largely accord with the former.
Mahāvaipulya Bodhisattva Buddhānusmṛtisamādhi-sūtra (10 fascicles, 132 sheets)
Translated by [Jñāna]gupta at the Translation Hall in the Shanglin Garden of the Eastern Capital during the Daye era of the Sui.

Translated by Xuanzang at Ci'en Si in the capital during the Yonghui era of the Tang.

Translated by Kumārajīva in Chang'an during the Hongshi era of the Later Qin.
The one scripture above was first translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin, titled Zheng fahua jing in ten fascicles. In the Daye era of the Sui, [Jñāna]gupta made a later translation, adding five sheets to the 'Medicinal Herbs' chapter; the various mantras are entirely different, and the 'Entrustment' chapter was moved to the end. Depending on what suits the faculty of the listener, it does not diminish the Qin translation.
Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra (4 fascicles, 92 sheets)
Translated by Guṇabhadra in the Yandu capital during the Yuanjia era of the Song.
The one scripture above was later translated by Bodhiruci of the Later Wei, titled Ru lengqie jing in ten fascicles; its textual forms are more numerous, but the doctrinal meaning remains as of old.

Translated by Kumārajīva at Chang'an during the Hongshi era of the Later Qin.

The single sūtra above was first translated by Lokakṣema under the Later Han, titled Ajātaśatrukaukṛtyavinodana-sūtra, in two fascicles. Phrasing and meaning have no discrepancy; here the later translation is retained.
Sūtra on the Samādhi of Equal Gathering of All Virtues (two or three fascicles, forty-nine sheets)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa under the Western Jin.
The single sūtra above is a different translation of the same original as the Sarvapuṇyasamuccaya-samādhi-sūtra.
Mahāvaipulya-susthitamati-devaputra-paripṛcchā-sūtra (four fascicles, sixty-eight sheets)
Translated by Jñānagupta at the Translation Hall of the Eastern Capital during the Daye era of the Sui.
The single sūtra above had three translations. Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin translated it under the title Māyopama-samādhi-sūtra, in two fascicles. Bodhiruci of the Later Wei translated it under the title Ārya-susthitamati-paripṛcchā-sūtra, in three fascicles. Textual phrasing and doctrinal meaning are broadly the same; hence the later produced [version] is retained.
Vipulaviśuddhāvaivartikacakra-sūtra (four or six fascicles, seventy-eight sheets)
Translated by Zhiyand and others at the capital of Yang during the Yuanjia era of the Song.
The single sūtra above had three translations. Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin translated it under the title Avaivartikacakra-sūtra, in three fascicles. Another translation was titled Avaivartikadharmacakra-sūtra. All are different versions of the same original.
Viśeṣacinti-brahma-paripṛcchā-sūtra (four fascicles, eighty-two sheets)
Translated by Kumārajīva under the Later Qin.
The single sūtra above had three translations. Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin translated it as the Brahma-cittadhara-paripṛcchā-sūtra, in four fascicles, also called Sūtra on Equanimously Governing All Dharmas, etc. Bodhiruci of the Later Wei translated it under the title Viśeṣacinti-devaputra-paripṛcchā-sūtra, in six fascicles. Textual phrasing and doctrinal meaning are broadly the same; following what is admired by contemporaries, Viśeṣacinti is considered foremost.

Translated by Dharmarakṣa during the Taikang era of the Western Jin.
The single sūtra above was translated by An Faxin of the Western Jin as the Sūtra on the Transformations of Spiritual Penetrations through the Path, in four fascicles; they are different translations of the same original.
Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra (five fascicles, seventy-three sheets)
Translated by Xuanzang at Ci'en Si in the capital during the Zhenguan era of the Tang.
The single sūtra above had four translations. Initially, in the Song dynasty, Guṇabhadra produced it under the title Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra [Xiangxu jietuo jing]. During the Chen dynasty, Paramārtha produced it under the title Jie jie jing, which was abbreviated and incomplete. It was the same as the Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra translated by Bodhiruci of the Later Wei. Therefore, the later version is retained as definitive.
Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra (three fascicles, sixty-one sheets)
Translated by Kumārajīva south of the Wei River in the Xiaoyao Garden at Chang'an under the Later Qin.
The single sūtra above had three translations. That translated by Zhi Qian during the Wu dynasty was the Vimalakīrti-sūtra, in two fascicles. That translated by Xuanzang of the Tang was the Sūtra Preached by the Stainless Named [Vimalakīrtinirdeśa], in six fascicles. In striking a balance between elaborateness and brevity, it is difficult to match the Qin translation. After all, just as "the Zhou followed the rituals of the Yin, and what was subtracted or added may be known," [the development is evident].
Sarvadharmāpravṛtti-sūtra (two fascicles, thirty-one sheets)
Translated by Kumārajīva under the Later Qin.
The single sūtra above was translated again by Jñānagupta during the Sui as the Sarvadharmamūlābhāva-sūtra, in three fascicles; its rhetorical power was inadequate, and because it is the same original text, it was omitted.
Anantaratna-samādhi-sūtra (one fascicle, thirty sheets)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa during the Yongjia era of the Western Jin.
The single sūtra above had another translation; one alternative translation is called Ratnatathāgata-samādhi-sūtra, in two fascicles, whose translator and era are lost. Because the text is identical, it is omitted.
Vaipulyanirvāṇa-sūtra (two fascicles, thirty-five sheets)
Translated by Buddhabhadra together with Faxian at the capital of Yang under the Eastern Jin.
The single sūtra above had three translations. A variant translation was titled Crying and Weeping Sūtra, in two fascicles. Jñānagupta during the Sui translated it as the Four Youths Sūtra, in three fascicles. The text does not differ; hence the Jin edition is retained.
Jñānottara-bodhisattva-paripṛcchā-upāyakauśalya-sūtra (two fascicles, thirty sheets)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa during the Taikang era of the Western Jin.
The single sūtra above had two editions. The Indian upāsaka Zhu Nandi of the Western Jin translated it, calling it Mahāyānopāyakauśalya-sūtra, in three fascicles. Since it is identical with the previous edition, it has been omitted and not included.
