The Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on Surata (Surata-paripṛcchā) — Former-Liáng version by 支施崙 (Zhī Shīlún, 譯)

About the work

This 1-fascicle text by 支施崙 Zhī Shīlún is the second Chinese version of the Surata-paripṛcchā, parallel to Báiyán’s earlier T0328. The two-translation tradition documents the early Chinese reception of the paripṛcchā sūtra and provides important comparative-philological material.
