Title: | A comparison of the Pāli and Chinese versions of the Brāhmaṇa Saṃyutta, a collection of early Buddhist discourses on the Priestly Brāhmaṇas | Contributor(s): | Choong, Mun Keat (author) | Publication Date: | 2009 | DOI: | 10.1017/S1356186309009729 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/5179 | Abstract: | This article first briefly examines the textual structure of the Brāhmaṇa Saṃyutta of the Pāli Saṃyutta-nikāya in conjunction with two other versions preserved in Chinese translation in Taishō vol. 2, nos 99 and 100. Then it compares the main teachings contained in the three versions. These three versions of this collection on the subject of the Brāhmaṇas represent three different early Buddhist schools within the Sthavira branch. This comparative study of these three different versions focuses on three major topics: the outcaste, the dharmas that are good for a layperson, and alms. It reveals similarities and significant differences in structure and doctrinal content, thus advancing the historical/critical study of early Buddhist doctrine in this area. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 19(3), p. 371-382 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1474-0591 1356-1863 |
