Summary
s.1While dwelling at Vulture Peak near Rājagṛha, the Buddha sets in motion the sūtras that are the most extensive of all—the sūtras on the Prajñāpāramitā , or “Transcendent Perfection of Wisdom.” Committed to writing around the start of the first millennium, these sūtras were expanded and contracted in the centuries that followed, eventually amounting to twenty-three volumes in the Tibetan Kangyur. Among them, The Transcendent Perfection of Wisdom in Ten Thousand Lines is a compact and coherent restatement of the longer versions, uniquely extant in Tibetan translation, without specific commentaries, and rarely studied. While the structure generally follows that of the longer versions, chapters 1–2 conveniently summarize all three hundred and sixty-seven categories of phenomena, causal and fruitional attributes which the sūtra examines in the light of wisdom or discriminative awareness. Chapter 31 and the final chapter 33 conclude with an appraisal of irreversible bodhisattvas , the pitfalls of rejecting this teaching, and the blessings that accrue from committing it to writing.
s.1佛在靈鷲山王舍城附近駐留時,開示了最廣博的經典——關於般若波羅密多(即般若波羅密多)的經典。這些經典成書於第一個千年開始時左右,在隨後的幾個世紀中不斷被擴展和精簡,最終在藏族甘珠爾中形成了二十三卷。其中,《般若波羅密多萬頌》是對較長版本的簡潔而一貫的重述,僅存於藏族譯本中,沒有特殊的註釋文獻,且很少被研究。雖然整體結構一般遵循較長版本的框架,但第一至二章方便地總結了經典所研究的全部三百六十七個諸法範疇——在般若波羅密多或簡擇智的照亮下所考察的因果法相。第三十一章和最後的第三十三章以思惟不退轉菩薩、拒絕此教導的陷阱,以及將其寫成文字所獲得的福報作為結尾。
