Chinese Translation Techniques of the Ancient Buddhist Scholars,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rendition Techniques in the Chinese Translation of three Sanskit Buddist Scriptures (Paperback)
This highly organized technical study explains in relatively plain English the methods whereby the ancient Buddhist translators rendered the Sanskrit sutras into Chinese. The author has analyzed their major translation techniques in light of the distinctive characteristics of the Chinese language and its dissimilarity to Sanskrit.
Three classic sutras are the focus of this work: The Vajra, the short Amitabha, and the Heart Sutras. Included are many charts which cross-reference and list the various translation methods, terms, and translators, and these also serve as extremely useful glossaries of almost all the Sanskrit and/or Chinese Buddhist words in these three sutras. This will be a valuable reference book not only for Sanskrit scholars, but also for anyone studying the Chinese versions of the Buddhist sutras. |
