This article does not address directly the problem of the attribution of T192 and T193, but provides a review of the most relevant scholarship in Chinese dealing with the issue (42). Feng Xiansi takes into account the hypothesis of Zhou Yiliang 周一良, according to which the titles of the two hagiographies were erroneously swapped, and determines that the title Fo benxing jing 佛本行經 corresponds to the text classified as T193, as per the excerpt (with title) reported in the Dunhuang manuscript 14720 A, collected in the National Library of China and dated to the Tang Dynasty (42-43). Feng Xiansi compares the plot of T192 and T193 to the depiction of the life of the Buddha in Mogao cave 290 (44-47), and further, compares the sequence of the main events In T192 and T193 (47-48), to demonstrate that the two hagiographies are not based on the same source. Feng Xiansi also points out some stylistic differences between T192 and T193, though without going into a great deal of detail (48). |
