Jayarava<p>"it begins to look like Prajñāpāramitā was an old lineage of Buddhist practice, probably transmitted orally from guru to śiṣya, and thus underappreciated by those who focus solely on texts."-- conclusion in a forthcoming article</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/buddhiststudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buddhiststudies</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/prajnaparamita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prajnaparamita</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>history</span></a></p>
Jayarava<p>In Aṣṭasāhasrikā we often find Elder Subhūti stating that he does not know, apprehend, or perceive a dharma.* We never see him debating the existence of dharmas, one way or the other.</p><p>* E.g. evam apy aham enān āyuṣman śāriputra dharmān na vedmi, nopalabhe, na samanupaśyāmi (Vaidya 1960: 178)</p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/buddhiststudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buddhiststudies</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Buddhism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Buddhism</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/prajnaparamita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prajnaparamita</span></a></p>
Jayarava<p>The insistence that dharmas don't exist forces proponents into the dualistic position of having one metaphysical explanation for experience and a completely different metaphysical explanation for reality. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/buddhiststudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buddhiststudies</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/twotruths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>twotruths</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/prajnaparamita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prajnaparamita</span></a></p>
Jayarava<p>Since <Prajñāpāramitāhṛdaya> ostensibly copies from <Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā>, the pattern of differences between these two texts should be the central focus of research on the provenance of the Heart Sutra. </p><p>I'm constantly surprised by how controversial this statement is perceived to be. </p><p><a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/buddhiststudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>buddhiststudies</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/prajnaparamita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prajnaparamita</span></a></p>
