The paper discusses the 觀無量壽經 Guanwuliangshoujing (T. 365) in Old
Uyghur. It is an important text of the Pure Land Buddhism known only in its original
Chinese text. Several separated fragments in Old Uyghur are known. One fragment of
the Turfan Collection in Berlin (U 1499) can be joined with a leaf of the Serindia
Collection of the IOM (SI 1748). The result is presented here. One of its interesting
differences is the list of 15 Bodhisattvas of which only Manjuśrī is given by name in the
Chinese original.
Research work titled “The Verb in the Sogdian Language (manuscripts from East Turkestan and Dunhuang kept at the IOM RAS)” by Olga M. Chunakova will be discussed on March 11, 2024 at 13:00.
