Chen considers the most important texts translated by Buddhabhadra to be: Mohe sengqi lü 摩訶僧祇律 [Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya] T1425 (co-translated with Faxian 法顯), Da Fangguangfo huayan jing 大方廣佛華嚴經 [Buddhāvataṃsaka] T278 (the “new version” of the Avataṃsaka-sūtra), and Wuliangshou jing 無量壽經 [interpreted by many scholars to refer to T360 --- MR]. In addition, Chen attributes to Buddhabhadra the meditation manuals Damoduoluo chanjing 達摩多羅禪經 T618 and Guanfo sanmeihai jing 觀佛三昧海經 T643 (for which he refers to Yamabe 1999). Chen adds that Buddhabhadra’s biographies attribute different numbers of texts to him, which he argues is due to “different ways of counting his translations”; the Gaoseng zhuan lists under Buddhabhadra’s name all texts which he either translated or co-translated, while the Chu sanzang ji ji lists only those translated solely by Buddhabhadra and his team.
