Pusa jie jing菩薩戒經

“The Pusa jie jing菩薩戒經 in one juan, also called the Fan wang pusa jie jing 梵網菩薩戒經, is an excerpt of the second juan of the “Brahma net sūtra” 梵網經 T1484. It is structured with the ten grave and forty-eight light precepts 十重四十八輕戒 as the main content, each with a verse before and after it. This structure is the same as that of the “Bodhisatva prātimokṣa” 菩薩戒本 and the translated precept 戒 scriptures of the vinayadharma 律法.

This Pusa jie jing in one juan has been extant since the Liang 梁 period or earlier, but has never been included in the canon. However, Ōno states that a preface to the text 菩薩戒序 is inserted between the first and second juan of T1484 (in the Korean edition; T1484 (XXIV) 1003a15-b3 and 1003 n. 3), indicating that the inclusion of the text in the canon was at least considered. Probably, the canonisation of the text was not carried through because its contents are the same as the second juan of the “Brahma net sūtra”, so that it sufficed to include the preface only at this juncture.

Ōno maintain that in fact, the Pusa jie jing should have been entered into the canon, because it does not use all of the second juan of T1484 (unlike the “Avalokiteśvara sūtra” 觀音經 = Guanshiyin pusa pumen pin jing 觀世音菩薩普門品經, which was included in the Ming “northern” canon 明北藏, but excised in the Shukusatsu daizōkyō 縮藏 and the Taishō except for the preface, title and ascription, because it was exactly the same 同文 as the entirety of Ch 25 of T262, 妙法蓮華經觀世音菩薩普門品第二十五).
