演講主題介紹 Abstract

Sarva-tathāgata-tattva-samgraha 在唐朝被不空法師譯為《金剛頂一切如來真實攝大乘現證大教王經》，而被宋朝的施護譯為《佛說一切如來真實攝大乘現證三昧大教王經》。這次演講的焦點將擺在 Sarva-tathāgata-tattva-samgraha以及這部經在印度佛教早期密續發展所扮演的關鍵角色。透過檢視和早期密續發展的《大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經》（Mahāvairocana-sūtra）之關係以及和後期的《秘密藏密續》（Guhyagarbha)、《密集金剛根本續》（Guhyasamāja）之間的關係，顯示Sarva-tathāgata-tattva-samgraha的創新及其重要性。 內容將包含以下主題﹕以密續之語詞重新呈現釋迦牟尼佛的覺悟以及其他以密續發展為中心的新的陳述，創新的密續技巧例如本尊瑜伽以及其他牽涉暴力的修行，密續壇城的結構以及密續典籍和修行環叢之形成與架構。

This talk will focus on the Compendium of Principles (Sarva-tathāgata-tattva-samgraha) and its pivotal role in the early development of Buddhist tantra in India, looking at its innovations and importance both in relation to earlier tantric developments such as the Mahāvairocana-sūtra and in relation to later tantric developments such as the Secret Nucleus (Guhyagarbha) and Secret Assembly (Guhyasamāja) tantras. This will include topics such as the account of Śākyamuni’s enlightenment recast in tantric terms and other new narratives central to the development of tantra; innovative tantric techniques such as deity yoga and other practices involving violence; the structure of tantric mandalas; and the formation and structure of cycles of tantric texts and practices.
