大乘庄严经论


Dasheng zhuangyanjing lun (Maha^ya^nasu^tra-lam!ka^ra). "Treatise on the Scripture of Adorning the Great Vehicle." 13 fascicles, attributed to Asan%ga (无著). T 1604.31.589b-661c. According to some traditions, the verses were written by Maitreyan 弥勒, and were expanded into prose form by Asan%ga 无著, or his brother Vasubandhu 世亲. Translated in to Chinese by Prabha^karamitra 波罗颇蜜多罗 during 630-633. There is also a Tibetan translation.

It is an important text for the Yoga^ca^ra school 瑜伽行派, being one of the eleven treatises on which the Cheng weishi lun 成唯识论 is based. It is comprised of twenty-four chapters, the content of which are almost exactly the same as that of the Chapter of the Bodhisattva Stages in the Yoga^ca^rabhu^mi-/sa^stra 瑜伽论, with the most important discussions being in regard to: the bodhisattvas seeds 种姓, arousal of intention to save sentient beings 发心, faith and understanding 信解, six perfections 六波罗蜜, and the merits of practice 功德. Commonly abbreviated as Zhuangyan lun 庄严论.
