The Sūtra Spoken by Mañjuśrī on the Inconceivable Buddha-Realm by 菩提流志 (Bodhiruci II, 譯)

About the work

This 2-fascicle text by 菩提流志 Bodhiruci II is a Mahāyāna sūtra featuring Mañjuśrī as the principal speaker — paralleling but distinct from the Avataṃsaka-tradition material on the bù sī yì fó jìngjiè (cf. T0300 and T0301).

Prefaces

No formal preface.

Abstract

The translation belongs to 菩提流志 Bodhiruci II’s Cháng’ān period (706 – 713 CE), the years of his great Bǎo jī compilation project.

The Taishō text (T0340) is established on a particularly rich apparatus including the Shèng 聖, Shèngyǐ 聖乙, and other witnesses.
