Sinopse

The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters (also called the Sutra of Forty-two Sections, Chinese: 四十二章經) is often regarded as the first Indian Buddhist sutra translated into Chinese. However, this collection of aphorisms may have appeared some time after the first attested translations, and may even have been compiled in Central Asia or China. According to tradition, it was translated by two Yuezhi monks, Kasyapa Matanga (迦葉摩騰) and Dharmaratna (竺法蘭), in 67 CE. Because of its association with the entrance of Buddhism to China, it is accorded a very significant status in East Asia. The Tibetan translation (Toh. 359a) is known as the The Dhāraṇī of a Hundred Thousand Ornaments of the Seat of Enlightenment (Tib. dum bu zhe gnyis pa'i mdo; Skt. Bodhimaṇḍasyālaṃkāralakṣadhāraṇī).
