Description
he Adhyardhasatika Prajnaparamita, known as the Rishukyo in Japan, is one of the most influential and revered scriptures in East Asian escoteric Buddhism. This scripture, in its Chinese version by Amoghavajra, has for centuries been at the core of the Shingon liturgy in Japan. Its Sanskrit text, however, was known until recently only through a fragmentary Central Asian manuscript. This volume presents a critical edition of the Adhyardhasatika based on a newly available photocopy, kept at the China Tibetology Research Centre in Beijing, of a Sanskrit manuscript from Tibet. Also included in this volume is a critical edition of a Tibetan version of the text, using fourteen exemplars of Kanjur and a Dunhuang manuscript. The introduction to the edition includes a survey of previous studies on the Adhyardhasatika, a description of the materials used, and notes on the distinctive features of the Sanskrit text.
