| 摘要 | The narrative concerning the bodhisattva Sadāprarudita’s journey in search of the prajñāpāramitā, found in both the Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā and Larger Prajñāpāramitā, exhibits a quite different style from the majority of the Prajñāpāramitā collection, which mainly deals with philosophical discourse. In this study, I concentrate on the intertextuality exhibited between this narrative of the journey of Sadāprarudita, and the process of meditational practice in one Mahāyāna Buddha-visualization text, the Pratyutpannabuddhasaṃmukhāvasthitasamādhisūtra. The aim of this meditational practice is to be reborn in the Buddha-field of a present Buddha, such as Amitābha. The narrative, in its climactic phase, presents Sadāprarudita’s meeting with the Dharma-preacher Dharmodgata, who can be regarded as the Buddha, dwelling in a city resembling the ideal Buddha-field of Amitābha. This comparison reveals that the narrative is closely associated with the Buddha-visualization text, or based upon the relevant practice, which may have become popular among the worshippers of Amitābha in the second century CE or earlier. |
