Beschreibung

The Bodhisatvapiaka ("The Collection of the Bodhisattvas") is a middle-period Mahyna stra, edited here for the first time in Sanskrit. It probably represents an early attempt to produce a consistent and complete exposition of the Mahyna as it became popular around the beginning the Common Era. The codex unicus presented here in a diplomatic edition, with corrections in the notes, dates from the 9th century CE and is currently kept in Lhasa. The Bodhisatvapiaka explains the main doctrines and concepts of Mahyna Buddhism. The work contains an unusually large number of frame stories in the form of jtaka, avadna, and vykaräa. In contradistinction to other Mahyna stras, the Bodhisatvapiaka extols monastic ideals, with a layman as the main protagonist whose aim is monkhood. As an editio princeps, this publication represents a milestone for the study of Mahyna Buddhism.
