天理图书馆藏八思巴"赞叹"《大乘无量寿宗要经》:至元三十年(1293)的西夏文译本考释

Research on the Mahayana Sukhavati-vyuhah-sitra with a Eulogy by'Phags-pa Held in the Tenri Central Library--A Textual Research of the Tangut Version from 1293

日本天理图书馆藏西夏文《大乘无量寿宗要经》,后附八思巴所撰颂赞《出有坏无量寿智莲华赞叹》,于"癸已年(1293)神足月十五日"译自藏文本,是目前发现的翻译年代最晚的西夏文刻本,八思巴所撰"赞叹"是目前仅见的有明确翻译时间的帝师八思巴作品的西夏文译本。该本在甘州(今张掖)禅定寺译成,可能曾短暂汇集于大都弘法寺,最后于大德十一年(1307)被管主八刊入《河西藏》。它的发现,为进一步明确党项遗民于蒙元时期在西夏故地继续从事藏文佛典的翻译提供了可靠的证据。

The Tenri Central Library in Japan has collected a Tangut version of the Mahayana Sukhavati-vyuhah-sutra with an appended eulogy by'Phags-pa entitled Bcom-ldan-detshe dang ye-shesdpag-tu-med-pa kyi padma phreng bstod pa that was translated from an original Tibetan version "on the 15"of the Buddhist shenzu month,1293."This manuscript is the latest block-printed version in Tangut that has yet been discovered,and the eulogy by'Phags-pa is the only extant text with a verifiable date of translation that can be confirmed to have been translated by Imperial Preceptor Blo-gros rgyal-mtshan(the original name for'Phags-pa).This version was completed at the Chanding Temple in Ganzhou(contemporary Zhangye city),was later temporarily relocated to the Hongfa Temple in the "Great Capital"(likely contemporary Beijing),and was finally included in the Tangut Tripitaka wrtten by Guan Zhuba,a Buddhist master of the Yuan dynasty,in the 11"year of Dade era(1307).The discovery of this manuscript provides reliable evidence for proving that the Tangut people in areas previously controlled by the Western Xia dynasty continued to be engaged in the translation of Buddhist scriptures in the Mongolian Yuan dynasty.
