Nagarjuna on Mindfulness of the Buddha

"NÄgÄrjuna on Mindfulness of the Buddha" consists of three extended passages from Bhikshu Dharmamitra's original annotated translations from Sino-Buddhist Classical Chinese of works written by Ä€rya NÄgÄrjuna (circa 150 ce).




All three of these passages have been selected from Tripitaka Master KumÄrajÄ«va's early Fifth Century Sanskrit-to-Chinese translations of works by Nagarjuna, as follows:




1) "The Easy Practice" -- NÄgÄrjuna's Treatise on the Ten Grounds, Chapter 9;

2) "The Pratyutpanna Samadhi" -- NÄgÄrjuna's Treatise on the Ten Grounds, Chapters 20-25; and

3) "Recollection of the Buddha" -- NÄgÄrjuna's Exegesis on the MahÄprajnÄpÄramitÄ SÅ«tra, Chapter 1, Part 36-1"
