The Yuanming-lun (圓明論) and Amala-vijñāna (阿摩羅識) are Buddhist texts found only among the Dunhuang manuscripts. In the past, there were four known manuscripts: Bei Fu (北服) 006, S.6184, “P.3664 and P.3559”, and Ishii’s text (石井本). Most studies are based on “P.3664 and P.3559”, and regard these medieval manuscripts to be texts of the Northern School. In recent years, two manuscripts, Дх00696 and no. 188106, have been made public by the Dunhuang Manuscripts Collected in the St. Petersburg Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of Russia and the Fu Ssu-nien Library respectively. The text from the Fu Ssu-nien collection (no. 188106) in particular offers new insights for research of the Yuanming-lun and Amala-vijñāna. Comparing those manuscripts, we suspect that the Yuanming-lun and Amala-vijñāna were possibly not written by the monks of the Northern School. The provenance of no. 188106 is unclear; however, real manuscripts must be distinguished from imitations. Two methods employed to make such determinations are discussed in this paper. First, I try to determine whether the Fu Ssu-nien collection text (no. 188106) is a modern forgery. I cross-reference and compare the contents of other manuscripts, which are undoubtedly from Cave 17 at Dunhuang, and then compare them with no. 188106 in detail to prove that no. 188106 is real. Second, I use the six manuscripts to analyze the Yuanming-lun and Amala-vijñāna, and rethink these texts’ places in the history of Chinese Buddhist thought. |
