The Great Zhou Catalogue revised them and appended them to the orthodox sūtras. But upon examining their doctrinal tenets, they are largely contradictory and erroneous; evaluating their meaning and sentences, they partake considerably of worldly sentiments. For now they are appended to the category of doubtful texts and cannot follow the orthodox catalogue. Some say: "Denigrating and assessing the sacred teachings brings retribution to oneself." The Buddha had earnest words, so this is not a baseless reproach. A sūtra states: "Even regarding what I have preached, if doubt arises, one should not accept it; how much less such texts as these!" In accordance with this principle, the right and the wrong must be distinguished. We still await the wise to examine their authenticity together. (The eight sūtras above were classified as spurious in older catalogues; now in this section following the spurious catalogue, they are likewise preserved and not excised. There are several other works that were spurious sūtras in older catalogues but revised as orthodox in the Zhou catalogue; I have not yet seen their texts, so they are not discussed here). > \*Fashe jing\* (Dharma Association Sūtra), two fascicles (The inner title reads: \*Yebao lunzhuan changzhai yindao diyu cishan zhuangyan fashe jing\*) > Regarding the one sūtra above, the Great Zhou Catalogue states it was translated by the Western Jin tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. Respectfully examining the catalogues of Fei Zhangfang and others, among those translated by Dharmarakṣa there is a \*Fashe jing\* in one fascicle. A note beneath states: "Popular notes consider it spurious and doubtful; this should mostly be the \*Xiao fashe jing\* \[Minor Dharma Association Sūtra\] from the old catalogue of spurious texts." The initial title of the former sūtra also states: "The Tripiṭaka of the Huanglu translated it from a Hu sūtra." However, examining the meaning of this text, its condition partakes of human sentiment; its titles and notes are inconsistent, making it difficult to take as a standard. For now it is compiled in the catalogue of doubtful texts, awaiting further examination. > \*Jingdu sanmei jing\* (Sūtra on the Samādhi of Pure Crossing), three fascicles (Among the excerpts compiled by Xiao Ziliang, there is a \*Jingdu sanmei jing\* in three fascicles; I suspect this sūtra is that one) > \*Yiyi jing\* (Sūtra on Benefiting the Mind), two fascicles (Among the texts recited by the nun Sengfa, there is a \*Yiyi jing\* in two fascicles; I suspect this sūtra is that one) > Regarding the two works in five fascicles above, they were compiled into the canon in the Great Zhou Catalogue. Examining their phrasing, it also partakes of human sentiment. The matter requires re-examination; for now they are compiled in the catalogue of doubtful texts. > \*Youlupin jing\* (Uruvilvā Sūtra?), one fascicle (Its title is found among the texts recited by the nun Sengfa; I suspect this sūtra is that one) > Regarding the one sūtra above, the two catalogues of Fei Zhangfang and the \*Neidian lu\* simply state: "Offered up by Mu Daoxian in the fifteenth year of the Tianjian era of the Liang \[516 CE\]." They do not explain the details further. Since its text is lacking, its authenticity is hard to determine; for now it is appended to the catalogue of doubtful texts. > \*Jingtu yulanpen jing\* (Pure Land Ullambana Sūtra), one fascicle (five sheets) > Regarding the one sūtra above, neither new nor old catalogues ever recorded it. It is transmitted and practiced among worldly folk, who take it to be an orthodox scripture. Examining its phrasing closely, it also partakes of human sentiment. The matter requires careful examination; for now it is appended to the catalogue of doubtful texts. > \*Sanchu jing\* (Sūtra of the Three Kitchens), one fascicle > Regarding the one sūtra above, neither new nor old catalogues ever recorded it. However, examining its textual logic, it also partakes of human contrivance. Practicing according to it, people have obtained non-singular verifications. It also requires careful examination; for now it is appended to the category of doubtful texts. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.18.3) - [Next: 18.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.18.5) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154~en-mt.18.4) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [貞元新定釋教目錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2157.28.5) — 圓照, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.18.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.18.4) · Pramāṇa
