Some Problems Observed in the Chinese Translation of the Samyuktāgama by Gunabhadra - With Special Reference to the Mahāśūnyatā-dharmaparyāya -

  For the purpose of identifying and understanding Buddhist Sanskrit texts, especially those which are preserved only in a fragmentary state, the importance of the Chinese parallels cannot be emphasized strongly enough (in this context cf. Enomoto 2004). However, even with a perfect understanding of the Chinese language, the Chinese versions can be very unclear and ambiguous in their content and meanings. The Za ­ahanjing, a Chinese translation of the Sa？yukt？gama by Gu？abhadra, is no exception. This article intends to highlight some of the problematic features and inconsistencies of the Za ­ahanjing, through investigation of a s？tra by the name of Mah？？？nyat？­dharmapary？ya. In addition, this article will suggest some possible solutions in response to the mentioned problems. Readers can find a juxtaposition of the Chinese and Sanskrit versions of the Mah？？？nyat？ dharmapary？ya with the P？li parallel, as included in the appendix.
