Jingdu-Sanmei-Jing and Sūtras translated by Zhufahu

In my last study, I considered the Jingdujing quoted in the Anleiji and the Guannian-Famen, and took up the dominating practical thought on this sutra. Although it is an apocryphal sutra, the Jingdu Jing is rich in the terminology common to translated sutras. It is especially influenced by the sutras translated by the translator Zhufahu (竺法護) during the Western Jin dynasty. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the similarity of the Jingdujing and the slltras translated by Zhufahu. First, concerning the similarity in their vocabularies, although Jingdujing contains many terms typical of the translators Anshigao (安世高) and Zhiloujiachen (支婁迦讖) of the later Han dynasty, it is in Zhufahu's slltras that many of them appear together. Second, I will comment on the relationship between the thirty narakas of the Jingdujing and the eight narakas of the Xiuxing- daodijing translated by Zhufahu. As a result of my studies, I conclude that, when the group under national archbishop Tanyao (曇曜) edited the Jingdu Jing, they took over the vocabularies and thought of the Zhufahu's siltras
