A Dhammacakkappavattana-sutta egyik korai kínai fordítása

(T02n0109)

Absztrakt

In this paper I offer the Hungarian translation and commentary of a rather early Chinese translation of the Dhammacakkappavattana-sutta (‘Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion’), one of the most important Buddhist suttas recounting the first sermon of the historical Buddha. This Chinese translation (T02n109: Fo shuo zhuan falun jing 佛說轉法輪經), slightly neglected in previous research, is traditionally attributed to An Shigao 安世高 (2nd c. AD), but I argue that, based on the terminological similarities between this scripture and the Zhong benqi jing 中本起經 (T196), Kang Mengxiang 康孟詳 (ca. 200 AD) would be a more plausible candidate for the authorship.
