II. SUKHAVATI-V YUHA. AFTER publishing in 1880 the Sanskrit text of the Smaller Sukhavativyuha, I had hoped that the libraries of Japan or China, which had supplied the manuscripts of that shorter and probably earlier text, would furnish likewise materials for an edition of the Larger Sukhavativyuha. There can be no doubt that the MSS. preserved in Japan, and which probably came to Japan through China, belong to an early age. The evidence on which I claimed for some of the palm-leaves, more particularly for those formerly preserved in the temple of Horiusi?, the rank of the oldest among the Sanskrit MSS. now known to exist in India or any other part of the world, has not been challenged. That palm-leaf came to Japan in A. D. 609%, and must therefore have been kept in China for some time before it was exported to Japan Now it is well known that the Larger Sukhavati-vyuha was one of the most popular and most widely read books of the Buddhist Tripitaka, both in China and Japan. While of the smaller text there were three Chinese translations only 4, the larger text is said to have been translated 1 Catalogue of Japanese and Chinese Books and Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, No. 45 b. * Selected Essays, vol. ii. pp. 368-370. * Selected Essays, vol. ii. p. 371. * These translations are (1) Fo-shwo-o-mi-tho-kin, lit.

BUDDHIST TEXTS FROM JAPAN. twelve times into Chinese. The first, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth had been lost in China in A.D. 730, when the Khai-yuen-lu was compiled; so that there are now only five in existence in China and Japan. It is true that none of these five Chinese translations agrees entirely with the Sanskrit text, as it was preserved in Nepal, and that they differ also considerably from each other. The following facts, however, are the same in all the translations, and agree also with the Sanskrit text :-viz. the scene of the dialogue is always placed at Ragagriha, on the mountain Gridhrakuta, and the principal speakers are Bhagavat or Buddha, Ananda, and Maitreya. The subject is the description of Sukhavati, together with the history of Amitayus or Amitabha, beginning with his early stage when he was as yet a Bhikshu with the name of Dharmakara, at the time of the Tathagata Lokesvararaga. According to the Thu-ki (No. 1487), a catalogue of the Chinese Tripitaka, compiled about A.D. 664, and the K'-yuen-lu (No. 1612), the following is a list of the twelve translations of the Larger Sukhavativyuha : (1) Wu-lian-sheu-kin, Amitayus-sutra.' 2 fasc. Translated by An Shi-kao, A.D. 148-170, of the Eastern Han dynasty, A.D. 25-220. (Thu-ki, fasc. 1, fol. 5b.) Lost. of the Royal Asiatic Society, vol. xii. part ii. (1880), pp. 168-186, and afterwards in my Selected Essays, vol. ii. Pp. 348-363, without the text. A fragmentary English translation of this Chinese translation, by the Rev. S. Beal, was given in his Catena of Buddhist Scriptures, pp. 378-383. A French translation, by MM. Ymaizoumi and Yamata, with the Sanskrit text, was published in the Annales du Musee Guimet, vol. ii. (1881), pp. 39-64. (2) Siao-wu-lian-sheu-kin, lit. 'Small Amitayus-satra.' i fasciculus. Translated by Gunabhadra, of the earlier Sun dynasty, A.D. 420-479. It was lost already in A. D. 730, when the Khai-yuen-lu (No. 1485), a well-known catalogue of the Chinese Tripitaka, was compiled. See the Khai-yuen-lu, fasc. 14 a, fol. 17 b. (3) Khan-tsan-tsin-thu-fo-sho-sheu-kin, lit. 'Sutra on the Favour of all Buddhas and the Praise of the Pure Land (Sukhavati).' II leaves. Translated by Hiouen-thsang, of the Than dynasty, A.D. 618-907. No. 199. This translation is somewhat longer than Kumaragiva's, e.g. it gives the names of the Buddhas of the four corners, beside those of the four quarters and of the nadir and zenith. According to the K-yuen-lu (No. 1612, fasc. 2, fol. 2 b), this Chinese translation is said to agree with the Tibetan translation ; for which latter, see the Asiatic Researches, vol. xx. p. 439.

BUDDHIST TEXTS FROM JAPAN. (12) Ta-shan-wu-lian-sheu-kwan-yen-kin, 'Mahayanamitayur-vyuhasutra.' 3 fasc. By Fa-hhien, A.D. 982-1001, of the later Sun dynasty, A.D. 960-1280. (K"-yuen-lu, fasc. 4, fol. 11 a.) Fifth of the five translations still in existence. No. 863. None of these twelve Chinese titles reproduces the exact meaning of, the title of Sukhavati-vyuha, or Amitabha-vydha; but on the contrary, almost all of them agree with the title Amitayur-vyuha, or Amita yussutra. For the above seven missing translations, see the Khai-yuen-lu, fasc. 14, fol. 3 b seq. Besides the five translations, there is a work entitled TA-c-mi-tho-kin, lit. 'Large Amitayus-sutra,' in two fasciculi, No. 203. It was compiled by a Chinese minister, Wan Zih-hhiu, in A.D. 1160-1162, under the Southern Sun dynasty, A.D. 1127-1280, and consists of extracts from four of the five translations, Nos. 25, 26, 27, and 863. The compiler, however, did not compare those translations with the Sanskrit text, but trusted simply to his own judgment, or to the spiritual help of Avalokitesvara, for which, as he states in his preface, he had always prayed in the course of his compilation. It is curious that he does not mention Bodhiruki's translation of the same Satra (No. 23. 5), which was made more than four centuries before, and is much better at least than No. 863, both in contents and composition. In the K'-yuen-lu (fasc. I, fol. 21 b), Bodhiruki's translation is said to agree with the Tibetan translation, which is mentioned in the Asiatic Researches, vol. xx. p. 408. If we examine carefully the five translations which are still in existence, we see that, besides their disagreement in minor and unimportant points, there were at least three different texts or copies of the text, differing from each other considerably. The first and second translations seem to have been made from nearly the same text, excepting that all the Gathas are left out in the second translation. The third and fourth translations seem to have been taken from almost the same text, excepting that the third translation has several additional chapters, which are given in the first and second translations also. The fifth translation stands by itself. The exact relation of the Sanskrit text to the five translations may be seen from the following comparative table : For Private and Personal Use Only

Among the five translations in existence, the third translation has always been considered the best in China and Japan. There are numerous commentaries on it, compiled by Chinese and Japanese Buddhist priests who belonged to various schools. There is a third Sutra on the description of Sukhavati, which was translated into Chinese twice, with the same title as the Fo-shwokwan-wu-lian-sheu - fo-kin, lit. "Buddhabhashita-amitayur-buddhadhyana -sutra.' Sometimes the seventh character 'fo' or Buddha'is omitted. Both translations were made under the earlier Sun dynasty, A. D. 420-479, by two Indians, named Kalayasas and Dharmamitra respectively. Dharmamitra's translation had been lost in A. D. 730, when the Khai-yuen-lu was compiled. This translation by Kalayasas (A. D. 424, No. 198), Sanghavarman's translation of the Larger Sukhavati-vyuha (A.D. 252, No. 27), and Kumaragiva's translation of the Smaller Sukhavati-vyuha (about A.D. 405, No. 200) are called the Three Satras of the Pure-Land sect, in China and Japan. Neither the Sanskrit text nor the Tibetan translation of the Satra on Sukhavati, translated by Kalayasas, is yet known. But it is equally famous, being commented on by several learned priests. The Sanskrit title of this Satra may also have been Sukhavati-vydha, as it contains a minute account of both the animate and inanimate objects in Sukhavati, which are to be meditated on by the believers in Amitayus. The objects are divided into sixteen classes, so that the Sutra is sometimes called Shi- liu-kwan-kin, lit. Satra of the Sixteen Kinds of Meditation.' The Three Satras of the Pure-Land sect above mentioned are [III. 2.) For Private and Personal Use Only

But although the Sukhavati-vyuha and, more particularly, the Larger Sukhavati-vyuha, was so widely studied, translated, and commented upon in China and Japan, all efforts for obtaining a MS. of the Sanskrit text, either from Japan or from China or from Corea, have hitherto proved vain, and even the hope of future success has been very much reduced. I had a visit last year from a Chinese Buddhist, an excellent scholar, Yang Wen-hoei, who has devoted the whole of his life, in connection with his friend Miao-khung (died in 1881), to a new edition of the Chinese Tripitaka. He had travelled for that purpose during thirteen years, collecting alms to enable him to defray the expense of his costly undertaking. He has published already more than 3000 volumes, and he thinks it will take him ten or twenty years more to finish his task. The Chinese Government does not help him, as few only among the officials now believe in Buddhism. He therefore follows, as he said, the old maxim of 'gathering the hairs from under the armpit of foxes, and thus making a garment. He publishes as much as he can with the alms he is able to collect. When I asked him whether in his travels from monastery to monastery he had ever met with any Sanskrit or Pali MSS., he told me that he had never seen any, and that there was at present hardly a single Chinese priest who knew Sanskrit. And when I inquired what he thought could have become of the Sanskrit MSS. which, as we know, were exported from India to China in very large numbers, from the first to at least the twelfth century, he replied that since the time of the Thang and Sung dynasties (A.D. 618-1280) several old pagodas had been burnt, and that the MSS. had most likely perished with them. However, as Sanskrit MSS. had formerly been preserved in such places as Shen-si (the eighth of the eighteen provinces of modern China), Shan-si (the sixth), Ho-nan (the seventh), and Peking, he promised, after his return to his own country, to visit these Northern places, in order to ascertain whether any Sanskrit MSS. might still be discovered there. When all hope of new material had thus for the present, at least, to be surrendered, it became a question whether it would be possible or desirable to attempt to restore a text of the Larger Sukhavati-vyuha For Private and Personal Use Only

SUKHAVATI-VUHA. xi with the MSS. now at hand. There are five MSS. in Europe :. one at the Royal Asiatic Society in London (A), one in the Bodleian Library (B), one at Cambridge (C), and two at Paris (P and p) Four of these, A, B, C, and P, have been copied and carefully collated by Mr. Bunyiu Nanjio and Mr. Kasawara ; one, p, has been consulted in certain passages only. When I endeavoured with these materials to restore a text, I soon found that the task was almost impossible. All these MSS. come from one and the same country, from Nepal, and in all difficult passages they almost always share the same corruptions and omissions. I pointed out on a former occasion that these corruptions must have crept into the Sanskrit texts of the Northern Buddhist literature at a very early time, even before the time when the Chinese translations were made, for we find that some of these translations presuppose corruptions which we now find in our Nepalese MSS., but which we can easily prove to be corruptions. Thus we read in the Lalita-vistara (ed. Calc. p. 543, 1. 8): Kakshur anityam adhruvam tatha srotaghranam gihvapi, Kaya-mana-duhkha anatma api riktasvabhavasunyal. Here the metre shows that we must omit gihvapi in the first, and Kayamana in the second line. They are additions, and very natural additions, to the original text. But when we take Divakara's translation, the Far-kwan-ta-kwan-yen-kin, which was made about A. D. 685, we find both gihvapi,' also the tongue,' and Kaya-mana, 'body and mind,' reproduced, and we find exactly the same in the far later Tibetan version. In the same chapter (p. 527), after Upaka had asked Bhagavat how he could bear witness of himself, and claim for himself the names of Arhat and Gina, Buddha answers : Gina hi madrisa gneya ye prapta asravakshayam Gita me papaka dharmas tenopagino hy aham. Here the last pada is clearly wrong in metre and matter. There is no such word as upagina, and the Pali version of the same verse (Mahavagga, vol. i. p. 8) shows that the Sanskrit text must have been 'tenopaka gino hy aham,' the sense being, Those who, like me, have reached the Selected Essays, vol. ii. pp. 343-345.

Here, again, there is no trace of the vocative Upaka, o Upaka! in Divakara's translation; and, whatever the Chinese translator may have had before him, it could hardly have been tenopaka gino hy aham. The fact is, that it would be almost impossible to restore a correct and readable text of any single page of the Sukhavati-vyuha, if it were not for the great uniformity of Buddhist phraseology, and the constant repetitions of the same words and the same phrases. Take such a passage as p. 41, 1. 3. Here the MSS. read : A.C. sterf #TET THE B. stelfrymat TETTTAIEIRA P. wietrafaretraTEIPTI 1 have printed audArikayUpamANIkArAhAramAharaMti, and I believe, after reading the Lalita-vistara, p. 331, 11. 5-7, most scholars will agree that the emendation, though bold, is certain. I had hoped at first that, more particularly for difficult passages, the Chinese translations would have been of great assistance. But, with few exceptions, they have proved of very little use. The Chinese translators, if they were Chinese, do not seem to me to have possessed, as a rule, such a knowledge of Sanskrit as would enable them to make out really difficult passages. They therefore either pass them by, or give the general meaning only, and in some cases a decidedly wrong meaning. The impression left on my mind, after reading some of those Chinese translations, is that they often contain the result of a conversation between an Indian and a Chinese Buddhist, the former explaining rather than translating the words of the original, the latter writing down something that should convey the meaning and be intelligible to Chinese readers. In some cases the misunderstandings in the Chinese translations are due to the indistinctness of the Sanskrit MSS. Thus in the Lalitavistara, p. 24, 1. 4, the Sanskrit text speaks of the king of Hastinapura, pandava-kula-prasuta, 'born of the race of the Pandavas.' Divakara, in his Chinese translation, gives at first the name of the Pandavas rightly, but when he comes to the reasons why the Bodhisattva should not be For Private and Personal Use Only

SUKHAVATI-VYUHA. xiii born in the family of the king of Hastinapura, he writes: 'Because that king is a eunuch.' Nothing is said of this in the Sanskrit text, and we can only suppose that the Chinese translator or his assistant misread pAMDava for paMDaka. Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir I therefore should have preferred to give up the idea of publishing the Sanskrit text of the Sukhavati-vyuha, at least for the present, hoping that better MSS. might still be discovered. But my two pupils were very anxious to carry back with them to their own country a Sanskrit text of a work which is of the highest importance to their coreligionists in China and Japan. The two texts of the Sukhavati-vyuha, the smaller and the larger, and the Amitayur-buddha-dhyana-sutra, form together the whole foundation of their religion, while all the other canonical books of the Tripitaka possess in their eyes a secondary authority only. That religion counts millions of followers in China and Japan. It may be called a branch of Buddhism, but on some of the most essential points of religion it differs so widely from what we are accustomed to understand by Buddhism, that much confusion would be avoided by assigning to it a different name altogether. Whereas the religion of Ceylon, Burmah, and Siam may well be called Buddhism, as being founded on the personal teaching of Buddha Sakyamuni, there is another religion in China, Japan, and Corea, in which the Buddha Sakyamuni plays a very subordinate part, having only to proclaim the teaching of former Buddhas. As the highest object of this teaching is the attainment of Bodhi or Samyak-sambodhi, Bodhism might be a useful name to distinguish that religion from Buddhism. To this religion of Bodhism belongs the sect of the 'Pure Land,' and to this sect of the 'Pure Land' belong the two priests, who came to Oxford in 1879 to study Sanskrit with a special view of reading their sacred writings in the original Sanskrit, and testing the correctness of the various and considerably varying Chinese translations to which the members of the Shin-shiu sect have hitherto looked as their highest authorities in matters of faith. They and their coreligionists knew, of course, that the five Chinese translations of the Larger Sukhavati-vyuha could not all be correct; but in order to know which of them was right in any particular place, they felt that it was absolutely necessary to have recourse to the Sanskrit original, from which every one professes to be taken. Under these circumstances I thought it right to do what could be For Private and Personal Use Only

I trust that, even though far from perfect, this edition will be productive of some practical good in Japan and China, while I have no doubt that in Europe critical scholars will accord to it the same indulgence which every editio princeps has a right to claim, particularly in a branch of literature hitherto almost unexplored. Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir The first text composed in this peculiar Buddhist Sanskrit, the Lalitavistara, was published at Calcutta, in 1853-1877, by Rajendralal Mitra. This was followed in 1873 by the Karanda-vyuha, published at Calcutta by Satyavrata Samasrami. In Europe the first attempt at a critical edition of a Sanskrit Buddhist text was made by myself in publishing, with the help of MSS. from Japan, the text and translation with notes of the Smaller Sukhavati-vyuha1. This was followed by an abridgment of the Meghasutra, with translation and notes, published by Mr. Cecil Bendall, in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1880. In 1881 appeared my edition of the text of the Vagrakkhedika, the Diamond-cutter, based upon MSS. from Japan, in the Anecdota Oxoniensia, Aryan Series, vol. i. parti. The last and most important contribution to this new branch of Sanskrit scholarship is the edition of the Mahavastu, published in 1881, by M. Senart. These few texts, with the addition of some shorter extracts published from time to time by Hodgson, Burnouf, Foucaux, and Feer, are all that we possess as yet of Buddhist Sanskrit literature; and those who have worked in this recently opened mine, know best themselves how uncertain the ground still is on which they have to stand and to carry on their work. There is, however, a great difference between the prose and the poetical portions of these Sanskrit texts. The prose portion can be restored with greater certainty and tolerable accuracy, not so much with the help of MSS. which, with the exception of those coming from Japan, seem to be the very worst of Sanskrit MSS., as by means of the constant repetitions and the almost stereotyped character of the general style of these Buddhist Sutras. It will be seen that in the prose portions I have often 1 1 Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1880; Selected Essays, vol. ii. p. 313. For Private and Personal Use Only

SUKHAVAT-VYUHA. XV taken very great liberties with the MSS., knowing with almost absolute certainty what was the only possible reading. I had also for these prose portions the assistance of the grammar which, though by no means Paninean, is yet not without definite rules. Another liberty I have taken was to add numbers to the long strings of names. But in the metrical portions the difficulties are far greater. The metrical dialects of the Buddhist Satras have never, so far as we know, been studied grammatically by native scholars. For Pali and for other Prakrit dialects we have native grammarians who tell us, at all events, what they thought to be the correct forms. But for the so-called Gatha dialects we are left without any such help. The MSS. are written by scribes who, whether they were learned or unlearned, had nothing to guide them, whose great temptation, if they were scholars, was to discover Sanskrit forms under Prakrit disguises, or who, if they knew what diplomatic accuracy meant, were left to decipher, as well as they could, the very peculiar and, in some cases, very uncertain letters of the ancient MSS. before them. Burnouf ascribed the introduction, if not the invention, of new words, such as the Pali Katuranta, instead of the Sanskrit Katuranga, to the ambiguity of the letters of the ancient alphabets. See on this point the excellent remarks of M. Senart, in the Introduction to his edition of the Mahavastu, p. xiii. * The following is a list of letters most likely to be mistaken for each other ; see Klatt, De Canakyae Sententiis, 1873; Senart, Maha vastu, vol. i. p. xi : FME BEI E R 21621 F Do to Jin Ri Bei ERi Ma Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Gao ] EQi Ke Ke E S TE TE hoy here to For he he 21 21 El Canal 4 4. tong og feu M Hey Z 1 te 3 Burnouf, Lotus, p. 582.

xvi BUDDHIST TEXTS FROM JAPAN. All I can pretend to have done in these so-called Gatha-portions is, for all difficult passages, to have put the reader in possession of the evidence supplied by the four MSS., and to have given the rest as the MSS., the metre, and the grammar, so far as they are known, seemed to require. I make no secret of my own dissatisfaction with the little I have been able to do. Still a beginning has to be made, and the difficulties which we have to encounter in these editiones principes are after all the same which the classical scholars of the fifteenth century had to face, and which they faced manfully. Many a corrupt passage had to be allowed to stand, and was repeated again and again in subsequent editions, till at last a wider knowledge of the literature and the greater critical ingenuity of later scholars have slowly purified our Greek and Latin texts. It will be the same, I hope, with these texts, and I have little doubt that the Sanskrit scholars of the future will make allowance for the difficulties which we, poor beginners, had to encounter, and be more sparing than certain classical scholars in their use of inepte and absurde, when hereafter they come to publish their critical editions of these Sanskrit texts. If I have erred, it is, I believe, in having often allowed the readings of the MSS. to remain, when it would have been easy to alter them. Thus on p. 8, 1. 17, I have, on the strength of all the MSS., retained arabhidhya, though it would have been easy to change it into arabhishya. In a language which allows such gerunds as kritvana, srunitva, srinuya, sunitva, sunitya, prapunitva, gahitva, gahya", buddhitva, karitya, kariyana, sthihiya, dadiya, dadia, etc., I thought that a termination dhya, representing the Vedic dhyai, might not be impossible; but I must confess that I have never met with an analogous form. On p. 7, 1. 13, bhosishu is no doubt a very irregular form, but I left it, because we have the Pali ahosi, which would presuppose a possible Gatha form abhosishuh, instead of the more regular abhushishuh. The use of s for sh we have in such words as uposatha, upanisa (or upanis), etc. On p. 8, 1. 1, I have left gahya, for gahya; see E. Muller, Der Dialect der Gathas, P. 30. * See Muir, Sanskrit Texts, vol. ii. pp. 119, 121; E. Muller, Der Dialect der Gathas, P. 29. * See Muir, Sanskrit Texts, vol. ii. p. 119; E.

Page #23
SUKHAVATI-VYUHA. xvii On p. 19, 1.4, I have left samanah, even in the prose portion, as corresponding to the Pali participle samano for sat. As we have the Vedic forms in ebhih frequently used in the Gatha portions, I have hesitated to suppress the form ebhi, apparently a singular (like Latin ibi), in such passages as p. 7, 1. 13; p. 8, I. 8. There can be no doubt that the Gatha dialect admits locatives in smi and smin, such as kshanasmi and kshanasmin, also girismi and girismin. Still occasionally the MSS. are so consistent in writing kshane 'smin, that one fears to correct it, although we actually find such phrases as kshanasmi tasmin. (Saddharmapundarika, v. 6o.) The metre is often a great help in restoring the text of the Gatha portions, but here again the license of lengthening short, and shortening long vowels, is evidently very great; and it is by no means clear, whether we should always write a long syllable short, because it counts as a short, and vice versa. Thus on p.8, 1. 9, I have written bhavishyami, but on the same page, 1. 17, I have retained ganga, though one MS. writes gaga. Again, on the same page, 1.7, the last syllable of samadhitas is used short, though followed by ka. On all these points I can speak with great hesitation only. We want a far larger number of texts before we can hope to arrive at safe conclusions. But the more I see of this peculiar Sanskrit, the more I feel convinced that we have in it something really historical, a language not bent and fashioned according to the rules of grammatical schools, but a language such as it was really spoken in different parts of India, before the Renaissance of Sanskrit Literature, about 400 A.D. I look upon the Gatha portions, though far less grammatical, as decidedly older than the prose portions, and I think we can even now distinguish between at least two varieties of Gatha language, that of the story itself, generally introduced by tatredam ukyate, and that of poetical portions interspersed in the prose story? There is also a marked difference between the Gatha dialect of the Mahavastu and that of the Sukhavati-vydha, and we shall probably not go far wrong, if we ascribe these dialectic varieties to the different localities in which certain Buddhist schools took their origin. In that case the dialect which we commonly call Pali, would likewise have to be considered as an ancient local dialect, phonetically See E. Muller, Der Dialect der Gathas, p. 3. [III. 2.)

xviii BUDDHIST TEXTS FROM JAPAN. far more corrupt than the Gatha dialects, but grammatically far more perfect, owing chiefly, I believe, to the scientific grammatical treatment which it received in India itself from a very early time. I have only to add that the credit, and likewise the responsibility, for the accurate collation of the four MSS. of the Sukhavati-vyuha belongs to my friend and pupil, Mr. Bunyiu Nanjio. To him is also due the translation of the Chinese version of the Gatha portions occurring in the Sukhavati-vyaha, printed with the Chinese text, at the end of this edition, pp. 79-91. Acharya Shri Kailassagarsuri Gyanmandir For the sake of students in Japan and China, and chiefly for the benefit of the members of the Shin-shiu sect, I have added the text of the Smaller Sukhavati-vyuha, which, though printed in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, is difficult to obtain in those distant countries. A short account of the Shin-shiu Sect, or, as it is called in China, the Sect of the 'Pure Land,' i. e. Sukhavati, from the pen of Mr. Bunyiu Nanjio, will show the true importance of the texts here published in the history of religious thought, and prove, I hope, acceptable to European students of religion to whom hitherto this important branch of Buddhism or Bodhism has been but little known. HISTORY OF THE PURE-LAND' SECT, IN CHINA AND JAPAN. In China, this sect dates from the fourth century. In A. D. 381 there was a priest named Hwui-yuen, a disciple of Tao-an, who founded a monastery on the Lu-shan or the Lu hill. Afterwards he had another monastery built on the east of the hill, where he had a pond dug, in which he planted a white lotus. The twelve leaves of the lotus flower were made to turn according to the waves, and this was used for dividing the day and the night into portions of six hours each. Here Hwuiyuen with his fellow-believers practised his religion, meditating on Amitayus. After a time there came together one hundred and twentythree men, who embraced the same belief. Hwui-yuen at once installed the images of the 'Three Holy Beings of the Western Quarter,' namely, Buddha Amitayus or Amitabha, and the two Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara For Private and Personal Use Only

One of his friends composed a prayer, and others wrote hymns on the Buddhanusmriti-samadhi, or the meditation called intense thought on Buddha Amitayus,' wishing to be born in his Pure Land after death. Hwui-yuen sent some of his disciples to India and collected some Sanskrit texts. He also introduced many Sutras and Vinaya works from other parts of China. He invited Buddhabhadra, and translated some Sanskrit texts with him. These were not, however, the works containing the description of Sukhavati. He himself wrote a treatise on the nature of Dharma, in which he asserted the eternity of Nirvana. This treatise is said to have been approved by Kumaragiva, who was his contemporary. Hwui-yuen died in A. D. 4161. Besides the Smaller Sukhavati-vyuha, Kumaragiva translated, about A.D. 405, Nagarguna's Dasabhumi - vibhasha - sastra, No. 1180 of the Chinese Tripitaka. In the ninth of the 35 chapters of this Sastra, Nagarguna explains the doctrine of Amitayus or Amitabha, as taught by Buddha in both the large and small texts of the Sukhavati-vydha, Nos. 23 (5), 25, 26, 27, 863 (large), 199, 200 (small). Nagarguna (Lun-shu, or Riu-ziu) is therefore looked upon as the first patriarch after Buddha in teaching this doctrine; though there was Asvaghosha before him in India, who quotes a Sutra which seems to be the Sukhavati-vyuha. Asvaghosha's work - Mahayana-sraddhotpada-sastra,' Nos. 1249, 1250 -- was not translated into Chinese till A.D. 553. In his work above mentioned (chap. 9 of No. 1180), Nagarguna introduces a famous simile, when he says: There are innumerable gates or forms of the Law of Buddha, just as there are paths in the world either difficult or easy. To travel by land on foot is painful, but to cross the water by ship is pleasant. The way of the Bodhisattvas is the same. Some are practising (religious austerities) diligently with pain, others are able to attain to the state of "not returning again" (Avaivartya) by means of the casy practice, viz. by faith (in Amitayus)??

On account of the authorship of this treatise, Vasubandhu is looked upon as the second patriarch in teaching the doctrine of Amitayus or Amitabha. It was this Bodhiruki who blamed the Chinese priest Than-lwan (Don-ran), when the latter asked him whether there was in the Law of Buddha a way of having a long life and even escaping from death. Bodhiruki showed Than-lwan the Satra of the Sixteen Kinds of Meditatation (on Sukhavati),-No. 198, translated A.D. 424,--and explained to him that a man who learns this Satra only, can be freed from all troubles and obtain a very long life, a life of immeasurable or incomparable length. Than-Iwan then wrote a commentary on Vasubandhu's treatise on the Sukhavati-vyuha, in which he quotes Nagarguna's work already alluded to. He also composed many verses in praise of Amitayus and his Sukhavati, and of Nagarguna. Than-lwan (Don-ran) is the third of the seven patriarchs of the doctrine of Amitayus, according to the Shin-shiu. He died in A.D. 5422 In A.D. 628, Tao-kho (Do-shaku), the fourth patriarch of the Shinshiu, died. He left one work, which is a collection of accounts concerning the doctrine of Amitayus. He honestly followed the example of ThanIwan, and deeply meditated on Amitayus, repeating the name of this Buddha 70,000 times every day. His immediate disciple Shan-tao (Zen-do), the fifth patriarch of the Shin-shiu, is very famous, as he wrote five works on this doctrine, and taught the people most diligently. One of his five works is a commentary on the Satra of the Sixteen Kinds of Meditation. He was the greatest teacher of this doctrine in China Both before and after these three Chinese patriarchs, there were numerous priests and laymen in China, who are said to have followed this doctrine, though their views were not always the same as those of For the life and works of Vasubandhu, see the Tsin-thu-shan-hhien-lu, fasc.

SUKHAVATI-VYOHA. xxi the patriarchs'. The schools of Thien-thai and Shan continue to hold the doctrine of Amitayus in China, though in a somewhat different way. In Japan, the principal sect of the doctrine of the Pure Land' dates from the twelfth century of the Christian era. But long before that date this doctrine was known there. In A.D. 640 the third Chinese translation of the Large Sukhavati-vyuha now in existence was lectured on by a priest named Ye-on, in the presence of the Emperor Zid-mei?. In A.D. 774 a nun, who was called by the official title of Kiu-zio, and who died in her thirty-ninth year, is said to have been a believer in this doctrine In A.D. 972 a priest, Ku-ya by name, who died in his seventieth year, and is said to have been a son of the Emperor Dai-go (reigned from A. D. 898 to 930), taught this doctrine to the people in Kioto, then the Imperial capital. There is still a certain number of his followers there, who from time to time assemble in a small temple, in which his statue is installed, within the large temple, Roku-haramitsu-si (Shat-paramitavihara), in Kioto. In A.D. 1017 another teacher, Gen-shin, also called Ye-shin, died in his seventy-sixth year. He was a priest of the Ten-dai sect, but truly followed the orthodox doctrine of Amitayus, agreeing with the opinions of the Chinese priest Shan-tao (Zen-do), the fifth patriarch of the Shinshiu. In A.D. 984-985 he wrote a work entitled Wo-zio-yo-shiu, or Collection of Important information on the doctrine of going to be born in Sukhavati.' On account of the authorship of this useful book he is considered to be the sixth patriarch of this doctrine, according to the Shin-shiu. About a century later, there were two priests, Yo-kwan and Rio-nin, the former died in A.D. IIII, and the latter in 11326. Yo-kwan left a work entitled Wo-zio-ciu-in, or . Ten Causes for going to be born in Sukhavati.' Rio-nin founded his sect in A.D. 1127. His sect is called after its principle, Yu-dzu-nen-butsu, or 'Circulation of the Merit of Remembering Buddha Amitayus or repeating his name,' that is to say, 1 See the Tsin-thu-shan-hhien-lu, or Records or Memoirs of the Sages and Wise Men of the Pure-Land Sect, compiled by Phan Tshai-thsin, in A.D. 1783; and its continuations, by two others, about A.D. 1850. ?

This is one of the eleven different Buddhist sects in Japan at the present day. The principal sect of the doctrine of the Pure Land' was first established in Japan by Gen-ku, who had the other name Ho-nen, in A.D. 1174, when he was forty-two years of age. He was formerly a priest of the Tendai sect, and discovered this doctrine in the works of the Chinese teacher Shan-tao (Zen-do), after repeated and careful examinations, to which he is said to have been led by the work of Gen-shin, the sixth patriarch. After his discovery, he left the Ten-dai sect, and taught the people this practical doctrine. He had more than 380 disciples, among whom there were many distinguished priests. He wrote a work at the request of his disciple Yen-shio, a retired prime minister. In this work he quotes several authorities, and adds many important notes. He also compiled a commentary on the Three Sutras of the Pure-Land sect. His writings, both in Chinese and Japanese, are numerous. His sect was so flourishing, that many priests of other powerful old sects were very much afraid lest their own sects would perish. They consequently accused him as a false teacher, and in his seventy-fifth year, A.D. 1207, Gen-ku was exiled to the province of To-sa, in the Shi-koku, or Four-Province island. But he was set free and called back to Kioto in A.D. 1211. In the following spring he died, being eighty years of age. There are many works on the life of Gen-ku. He is the last of the seven patriarchs, according to the Shinshiu sect, established by his greatest disciple Shin-ran, thirteen years after the death of Gen-ku. Soon after Gen-ku's death, however, some of his other disciples founded their own sects, of which two are now in existence under the same name of Zio-do-shiu, or Sect of the Pure Land.' The founders of these two sects are Ben-a, of the Kin-zei-ha, or Sect of the Western Island, where he lived; and Shio-ku, of the Sei-zan-ha, or Sect of the Western Hill near Kioto. Ben-a died in A. D. 1238, and Shio-ku in 12471. Although Gen-ku established the principal sect of the doctrine of the Pure Land, his leading opinions were almost forgotten after his death. But in A. D. 1224, i.e. the thirteenth year from his death, his Butsu-zo-dzu-i, fasc. 5, fol. 9 b. For Private and Personal Use Only

SUKHAVATI-VYUHA, xxiii greatest disciple, Shin-ran, established his sect, with the view of maintaining the principles of his teacher Gen-ku. Shin-ran called his sect Zio-do-shin-shiu, or True Sect of the Pure Land, now shortened into Shin-shiu, or True Sect. In the same year he compiled a work, collecting numerous maxims and adding short but important notes. Shin-ran was born in the noble family of Hino in Kioto, in A. D. 1173. In his ninth year, A. D. 1181, he became a priest of the Ten-dai sect, which he left in his twenty-ninth year, A. D. 1201. Then he became a disciple of Gen-ku, and shared the misfortune of the latter in his thirty-fifth year, A. D. 1207, when he was exiled to the province of Yeki-go. Five years after he was set free, and he travelled through the north-eastern provinces during twenty years, preaching the doctrine of the Pure Land. He was in his fifty-second year when he established his sect. After that he wrote several books, both in Chinese and Japanese, in which he firmly established his system of teaching faith and morality equally, while prohibiting strictly all kinds of superstitious practices. In A. D. 1262, Shin-ran died, when he was ninety years of age. Before and after his death, his disciples and descendants (as he was a married priest) have constantly gone to different places, and made the True Sect of the Pure Land known to the people. There are many works on the life of Shin-ran. There is another and still later sect of this doctrine of the Pure Land, called Zi-shiu, or Sect which performs worship at fixed times-six times in a day and night. It was founded by the Japanese priest Ippen, in A. D. 1276, who died in 12891. Besides the above four sects, viz. Yu-dzu-nen-butsu-shiu, Zio-do-shiu, Shin-shiu, and Zi-shiu, there is another sect called Ten-dai (Thien-thai, in Chinese sound), which also holds the doctrine of the Pure Land,' while in the six remaining Buddhist sects, still existing in Japan, this doctrine is generally not taught. The following two tables will show the result of the religious census of 1880, with the dates of the establishment of the eleven Buddhist sects in Japan. The number of the Shinto temples, and of the preachers and students professing the Shinto faith, has been added for the sake of comparison. The Shinto temples in Japan are numerous, but the number of preachers and students is comparatively small. 1 Butsu-zo-dzu-i, fasc. 5, fol. 10 a. For Private and Personal Use Only

We can gather from Bodhiruki's Chinese translation that what he discovered in the text before him was that those who did not wish to hear the sound of the river, need not hear it, even if they were possessed of the so-called heavenly hearing which enables a man to hear everything. With the help of this hint the text has been restored conjecturally, though with sufficient certainty. yathAkramaM P. For Private and Personal Use Only
