Saroruhavajra's Hevajra-Lineage – A Close Study of the Surviving Sanskrit and Tibetan Works

传承谱系被认可为印度mahāsiddha Saroruhavajra，别名Padmavajra （xz）。msho skyes rdo rje)，在Hevajra循环的发展中扮演了重要的角色，随着时间的推移，特别是在公元9世纪到13世纪之间佛教密宗传统发展的高峰时期，发展成为密宗佛教领域最重要的系统之一。这个项目是对Hevajra语料的整个传承谱系的第一个也是最完整的研究，旨在详细分析这一注释传统的幸存文本证人。它包括梵文和藏文幸存文本的关键版本（关键词“Grundlagenforschung”），其中包含的教义的仔细分析和大量注释翻译成英文。鉴于本项目前一部分的主要重点是仔细研究现存的梵文作品，同时考虑到这些文本的藏文经典翻译，现在特别关注的是这一传统的文本见证，这些文本见证只存在于藏文中，包括藏文正典和准正典翻译，以及藏文本土作品。这项详细研究的结果不仅显示了传承的基本哲学原则和救赎方法，而且还揭示了它的智力发展及其对其他佛教和非佛教传统的影响。这一广泛研究项目的成果计划于2019年底分三卷出版。

The transmission lineage accredited to the Indian mahāsiddha Saroruhavajra, alias Padmavajra (Tib. mTsho skyes rdo rje), assumed an important role in the development of the Hevajra Cycle which in course of time, especially during the peak of the development of the Buddhist tantric traditions between the 9th and 13th centuries C.E., developed into one of the most important systems in the realm of tantric Buddhism.This project which is the first and most complete study of an entire transmission lineage of the Hevajra corpus aims at a detailed analysis of the surviving textual witnesses of this commentarial tradition. It comprises the critical edition of the texts surviving both in Sanskrit and Tibetan (keyword "Grundlagenforschung"), the careful analysis of the teachings contained therein and an extensive annotated translation into English.Whereas the main focus of the preceding part of this project lay on the close study of the surviving Sanskrit works, also taking into account the texts' canonical Tibetan translations, special attention is now being paid to the textual witnesses of this tradition which only survive in Tibetan, both canonical and para-canonical Tibetan translations as well as autochthonous Tibetan works. The results of this detailed study not only show the lineage’s underlying philosophical tenets and soteriological methods, but also shed light on its intellectual development with its influences on and from other buddhist and non-buddhist traditions. The outcome of this extensive research project is planned to be published in three volumes in the end of 2019.
