A Characteristics of the Kula-putra and Kula-duhitr in the Mahāprajānnapāramitā-sūTra

&nbsp;&nbsp;In this paper I will discuss a characteristics of the kula-putra and kula-duhit？ in the Mah？praj？？nap？ramit？-s？tra. Generally their characteristics in this text can classify three kinds as follows.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;First, The kula-putra(son of good family) and kula-duhit？(daughter of good family) in the ？gama(阿含) indicate simply the son and daughter of good family, the married buddhists before the leaving home buddhist, and the married buddhists accumulating virtuous deeds in order to born th heaven on the next life. But whichever case you may take, it indicates the mairried buddhist.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Second, We can understand in the two aspects about the relation between the kula-putra or the kula-duhit？ and the Bodhisattva as the independent practitioner in the Mah？y？na-Buddhism. One is the case that it call Mah？bodhisattva(大菩薩), such as Avalokite？vara(觀自在菩薩). This occasion is used the vocative case. The other case, even if the kula-putra or the kula-duhit？ produced bodhicitta, indicates an ordinary person-bodhisattva(凡夫菩薩) who does not yet have a certain belief of the praj？？nap？ramit？(般若波羅蜜).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;But we can know this two used different usages in the Mah？pra j？？nap？ramit？-s？tra. The former used mainly the partner to explain the praj？？nap？ramit？. But this case does not use the kula-putra with the kula-duhit？, but mostly only kula-putra. The latter is the case that the kula-putra or the kula-duhit？ has been practice six praj？？na p？ramit？ for a long time from the past times. This typical example is Sad？pral？ pa-bodhisattva(常啼菩薩).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Third, the characteristics of the kula-putra or the kula-duhit？ is the devotee that listens, accepts, and memories the praj？？nap？ramit？, writes, keeps, respects and offers the Mah？praj？？nap？ramit？-s？tra, the conveyor and keeper who hands down and keeps up the Mah？praj？？na p？ramit？-s？tra or the Dharma-bh？？aka(法師) who have other persons write, give, accept and keep the Mah？praj？？nap？ra mit？-s？tra, and speeches, teaches, discriminates, explains and comment on praj？？na p？ramit？ to other persons by various cause and occasion. In this case the Dharma-bh？？aka is a nickname of the Bodhisattva.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In conclusion, the kula-putra or the kula-duhit？ is the open-hearted name to anyone who wish to become the buddha without the married buddhists and the leaving home buddhist, or the degree of the discipline in the Mah？prai？？nap？ramit？-s？tra.
