Summary
s.1Gayāśīrṣa Hill is a pithy Buddhist scripture that describes various aspects of the Mahāyāna Buddhist path. Set on Gayāśīrṣa, the hill near Bodhgayā from which its title is derived, the sūtra presents its teaching in the form of the Buddha’s inward examination, a conversation between the Buddha and the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, and dialogues between Mañjuśrī and three interlocutors—two gods and a bodhisattva. It provides a sustained but concise treatment of the progress toward awakening, the stages of aspiration for complete awakening, method and wisdom as the two broad principles of the bodhisattva path, and various classifications of bodhisattva practices. Multiple translations, commentaries, and citations of passages from Gayāśīrṣa Hill attest to its wide influence in the Mahāyāna Buddhist communities of India, China, and Tibet.
s.1《迦耶首羅經》是一部言簡意賅的佛教經典，闡述了大乘佛教修行道路的各個方面。經文設定在迦耶首羅山上，這座山位於菩提伽耶附近，也是該經名稱的由來。經文以佛陀的內觀、佛陀與菩薩文殊菩薩的對話，以及文殊菩薩與三位對話者（兩位天人和一位菩薩）的對話形式呈現教法。該經對證得覺悟的進程、圓滿覺悟的願望階段、方便與智慧作為菩薩道的兩大原則，以及菩薩修行的各種分類進行了深入而簡潔的闡述。眾多的翻譯、註疏和對《迦耶首羅經》經文片段的引用，證明了它在印度、中國和西藏的大乘佛教社群中的廣泛影響力。
