Summary/Abstract |
By discussing Yixing's effort to recast a ma??ala of an Indian origin (originally described in the Mahavairocana sutra [Sutra of Great Sun]) by virtue of a Chinese cosmological framework known as jiugong Palaces'), this article provides a case study of how some Buddhist ideas and practices were Sinicised when they were brought to China, particularly through Buddhist translations.
