In other words, they are demonstrating the dangers of relying too much on printed editions of texts. This suggests both the importance of a relatively strict revision of Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures based on the discovery and application of medieval Japanese scripture manuscripts, as well as the possibility of grasping more correctly the historical process of change of textual content, via the work of revision. Moreover, this situation will help promote the potential for a relatively flexible understanding of the reception and transformation of Buddhist scriptures in East Asia. To concretely present the validity and potential of this type of research methodology, this paper takes as a topic the Chinese translations of Buddhist scriptures associated with Huiji Jin’gang, first introducing the various transmitted editions of this scripture. It points out problems contained in the genealogy and content of the printed texts, and further clarify the process of transformation of this scripture, based on the medieval manuscript editions from Dunhuang and Japan.","PeriodicalId":36684,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Chinese Religions","volume":"7 1","pages":"357 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49412956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meru and the Four Continents in the Āgamas and Abhidharma. These models all use a flat-earth model, in contrast to the spherical-earth model utilized within classical Indian astronomy. This study shows that although the spherical model was known in Chinese from at least the early eighth century via the Jiuzhi li 九執曆 (*Navagraha-karaṇa), a translation of an Indian astronomical treatise, Amoghavajra consciously adopted the flat-earth model in his cosmology, yet at the same time he was willing to introduce new astronomical elements, such as the planets and the zodiac signs. It is argued that Amoghavajra’s cosmology constitutes an intriguing example in Buddhist history of a religious worldview taking precedence over a scientific one, yet at the same time it is demonstrated that Chinese Buddhist literature was not averse to incorporating some scientific astronomical elements before, during and after Amoghavajra’s time.","PeriodicalId":36684,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Chinese Religions","volume":"7 1","pages":"203 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48975815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some paintings from the Dunhuang caves have inscriptions of the attendants’ names and their situations. This work focuses on the appearance of Cintāmaṇicakra and Amoghapāśa as the Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara’s attendants. Chanting of the ‘dabeixin dhāraṇī’ 大悲心陀羅尼 is the most important practice in the belief of the Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara. Some inscriptions tell us that the purpose of these attendants in the paintings was to join or help the Buddhist gathering, Dabeihui 大悲會 of the Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara, with chanting the dabeixin dhāraṇī. Additionally, in the manuscripts of the dabeixin dhāraṇī, each dhāraṇī word was noted with the attendants’ name unrelated to the meaning of the dhāraṇī, and Cintāmaṇicakra and Amoghapāśa appeared in those names. This article explores the relationship between many attendants drawn in the paintings of Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara and the dhāraṇī words used in the chant, and discusses the possibility that the Cintāmaṇicakra and Amoghapāśa were also part of the belief for the Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara based on the chanting of the dabeixin dhāraṇī.","PeriodicalId":36684,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Chinese Religions","volume":"7 1","pages":"159 - 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41897417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It will offer contextualized spatial hermeneutics to interpret the ritual-functional significance of their emplacements. Specifically, it will consider traditional emplacements such as the parallel confrontation model and the frontal display model, which are most often discussed in the context of lay or monastic initiation ceremonies (kechien kanjō 結縁灌頂), annual state protecting rites (goshichinichi mishūhō 後七日御修法), and Shingon’s ubiquitous goma 護摩 fire ceremonies. However, it will also consider new and original (or simply idiosyncratic) examples in modern Japan that nevertheless show the versatility and adaptability of the twin mandala motif for distinct functional purposes. Emplacements on ceilings, on doors, behind founders’ portraits or even arguably in government buildings, all suggest that the functions of Shingon’s double mandala motif range from individual propitiation and commemoration to advancing sectarian and national ideologies.","PeriodicalId":36684,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Chinese Religions","volume":"7 1","pages":"306 - 329"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45324400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We know from the sacred teachings documents (shōgyō聖教) from the libraries of three temples – Amanosan Kongōji (in Osaka), Shinpukuji (Nagoya), and Shōmyōji (Yokohama) – that catalogs were produced locally to classify meticulously copied ritual manuals, commentaries to exoteric and exoteric sūtras and commentaries, and other documents. In this article I introduce Kongōji as a prime example of how exoteric Buddhist texts were ritually employed there, followed by Zenne 禅恵 (alt. Zen’e 1284–1364) and his catalogs, and then present an overview of the sacred documents he marked as exoteric.
