Paramartha (499-569) is traditionally credited with amalgamating these  philosophies by translating one of the most influential Tathagatagarbha texts in  East Asia, the \u003ci\u003eAwakening of Faith in Mahayana\u003c\/i\u003e, and introducing Tathagatagarbha notions into his translations of Yogacara texts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngaging with the digitalized Chinese Buddhist canon, Ching Keng draws on clues  from a long-lost Dunhuang fragment and considers its striking similarities with  Paramartha’s corpus with respect to terminology, style of phrasing, and doctrines.  In this cutting-edge interpretation of the concept of \u003ci\u003ejiexing\u003c\/i\u003e, Keng demystifies the  image of Paramartha and makes the case that the fragment  holds the key to recover his original teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256906207576,"sku":"9781350303942","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781350303942_d0b90409-a754-4b6d-b64f-f51c524d9d77.jpg?v=1770289250","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/toward-a-new-image-of-paramartha","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
