3. Difference between Chinese translation ver.

For readers' reference, here I present a comparison of three Chinese translation from Japanese Taiśotripitakaṃ. 
Note 1. Comparing my translation(Section 2. FIg 2. of this article), (C) parts are merged to previous (B) and the (C) meaning is not clarified. Recent translations from Sanskrit ver. like this also ignore (C) part. Kumārajiva 26th row "一切衆生之所樂見" is only (C) part found within traditional Chinese translations. 
Note 2. Concerning 17th row, Kumārajīva and Mokṣadeva translated"setu-saṃkrāma-bhṛtaś" into the active voice, but "bhṛtaś" is actually passive voice. Additionally, according to Google Gemini, "setu-saṃkrāma"  particularly means the bridge of Rama from Rāmāyaṇa episode "The battle of Lanka" . So this seems to mean "The skilled Bodhisattvas are insured the ferry by the whole world." rather than "insure the bridge for the people." Google Gemini conversation here. Old conversation on 2025/11/14 here.

Mahāyāna Buddhism "Emptiness" Explained.

イメージ
What is the "Emptiness"? 1. "Emptiness" is a major topic in Mahāyāna Buddhism. "Emptiness", or Sanskrit "Śūnyatā", is a major topic in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Famous Heart Sutra  is all about this "Emptiness". It is explained in the Sutra (Translated by  Max Müller , 1894 version) as below: Sariputra! Form does not differ from Sunyata, nor Sunyata from form. Form is identical to Sunyata, and Sunyata is identical to form. So also are reception (vedana), conception (sanjna), mental conduct (samskara) and consciousness (vijnana) in relation to Sunyata. Sariputra, the Sunyata nature of all things is neither created nor annihilated; neither impure nor pure; and neither increasing nor decreasing.  "Form" is Sanskrit " Rūpa ". " Rūpa " have another meaning "material". It says " Śūnyatā is identical to Rūpa ." Okay then, what is Śūnyatā and Rūpa ? Why don't we check what it looks like? Let'...

Disease is emptiness―what made him ill? Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Chap. 4 (working)

イメージ
Mañjuśrī : "Where is the origin of this disease, O householder? How long have you had the disease? And when will it subside?" Vimalakīrti said: " Mañjuśrī, a s long as ignorance and craving for existence are grasped, for that long, my illness exists. When all sentient beings become free from illness, then my illness will cease." 1. What did  Vimalakīrti talk about? In Vimalakīrtinirdeśa , emptiness is explained in the form of conversation between Mañjuśrī and Vimalakīrti . I think you can just read it down.  my excerpt for your convenience.  If you're interested, the full text and English translation is  here . 2. §1-5 Introduction Compliments to  Vimalakīrti  and stage-setting.  Mañjuśrī goes to  Vimalakīrti's house, and  Vimalakīrti prepares for it removing all goods to make it empty.  Mañjuśrī greets   Vimalakīrti. 3. §6-7 What is the origin of the disease? 3.1 Conversations Mañjuśrī : "Where is the origin of this disease, O ho...

Heart Sutra Mantra explained. (working draft.)

"Go, go, go to the next kingdom, go to the next kingdom and never look back! May it be blessed, the awakeness!" 1. "Gate, gate, pāragate, pārasaṃgate, bodhisvāhā!" Famous Heart Sutra ends with a moving mantra(the title of this section) celebrating the accomplishment of the practitioner's Buddhistic improvement. It is traditionally translated into English like "Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond! O Enlightenment! Be it so!" ,  Max Müller , 1894. “Gone, gone, gone to the other shore, and completely landed on the other side. Congratulations on the enlightenment!” ,  M. Osaki, 2013 . However, considering some recent improvement on this field, the translation is to be renewed for future reference. 2. Sanskrit word "gate" 2.1. Dictionary meaning It is the √ gam  family meaning "to go, move, go away, set out, come", Fem. form " gati " meaning "going, moving, gait, or path, course" (accoding to  A-Sanskrit-...
