Abstract

By discussing Yixing’s effort to recast a maṇḠala of an Indian origin (originally described in the MahÄ vairocana sÅ«tra [SÅ«tra of Great Sun]) by virtue of a Chinese cosmological framework known as jiugong (‘Nine Palaces’), this article provides a case study of how some Buddhist ideas and practices were Sinicised when they were brought to China, particularly through Buddhist translations.
