Yogacara and Tathagatagarbha are often regarded as antagonistic
Indian Buddhist traditions. Paramartha (499-569) is traditionally
credited with amalgamating these philosophies by translating one of
the most influential Tathagatagarbha texts in East Asia, the
Awakening of Faith in Mahayana, and introducing Tathagatagarbha
notions into his translations of Yogacara texts. Engaging with the
digitalized Chinese Buddhist canon, Ching Keng draws on clues from
a long-lost Dunhuang fragment and considers its striking
similarities with Paramartha's corpus with respect to terminology,
style of phrasing, and doctrines. In this cutting-edge
interpretation of the concept of jiexing, Keng demystifies the
image of Paramartha and makes the case that the fragment holds the
key to recover his original teachings.
