Comparative analysis reveals Xuanzang's nuanced approach to translating key concepts in Buddhist texts, highlighting challenges in semantic transmission.

Key Points

Xuanzang's translation method balances fidelity to Sanskrit text with contextual clarity, addressing complexities in comprehension.
Key findings indicate that his use of the term suiyu for anupradāna reflects a deliberate strategy in discussing consciousness.
The observational analysis examines textual divergences between Chinese and Tibetan translations of the same passages.
Although Xuanzang aimed for clarity, interpretations of suiyu by disciples show the ongoing tension in cross-cultural Buddhist translation.
