This volume contains ve scriptural texts that have been especially important and inuential in the East Asian Buddhist tradition. The Bequeathed Teaching Sutra, purportedly the last teaching given by the Buddha to the monks, emphasizes the practice of monastic discipline through observance of the pratimoksa, rules of conduct. This text was inuential to Chinese Buddhists of the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties and considered a basic reference for the Chan (Zen) school in particular. In The Ullambana Sutra, the Buddha instructs the monk Mahmaudgalyyana on how to obtain liberation for his mother, who had been reborn into a lower realm, by making food offerings to the sangha on the fteenth day of the seventh month. This practice is the basis of the Obon ceremony in honor of ones ancestors that is still observed widely in Japan. The Sutra of Forty-two Sections is a compilation of brief passages drawn from many Buddhist sutras, includin! g Pli and Chinese Buddhist sources, particularly the gamas (canonical texts). Each section presents an ethical teaching intended for practice by Buddhist followers, and because of its practical relevance to moral behavior, the text has remained a popular general text among Chinese Buddhists up to the present day. The Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment, especially important in the Chan and Huayan traditions in China, deals with teaching of intrinsic enlightenmentthe potentiality for Buddhahood shared by all sentient beingsthat became a fundamental axiom on which uniquely East Asian forms of Buddhist belief and practice developed. The Sutra on the Profundity of Filial Love, known as the Buddhist book of lial piety, reveals the synthesis of native Chinese Confucian ideals with Buddhist teachings. Believed to have been produced by Chinese Buddhist monks in imitation of the Confucian Classic of Filial Piety, the text shows that Buddhism also teaches the idea of li! al piety, though it is to be based on the aspiration to attain enlightenment, and how best to repay ones indebtedness to ones parents.
