MINOR BUDDHIST TEXTS
PART II
First Bhavanakrama of Kamalasila
Sanskrit and Tibetan Texts with Introduction and English Summary
GIUSEPPE TUCCI
PREFACE
The introduction to the second part of Minor Buddhist Texts went far the limits which I had anticipated and I was therefore compelled to include in this part only the Bhavanakrama. The Ratnagotra-upadesa of Sajjanapada I sent for publication to my friend V.V Gokhale who has devoted a great part of his time to study of the Ratnagotra.
Part III will contain the Vyakhya of Vimuktisena, a famous commentary on the Abhisa-mayalamkara superseded by that of Haribhadra but of great importance for the history of the exegesis of the Prajnaparamita. Then the Mahayana samuccayakarika of Samghatrata will follow. The indices will be published when the series is concluded. To their compilation Dr. P. Daffina is attending.
I conclude these introductory remarks by thanking with deserved gratitude my kalyanamitras: Prof. V.V Gokhale and Muni Jambuvijana who went through the proofs of the Bhavanakrama, Prof. P. Demiéville and Mr. H. E. Richardson who were so kind as to read the introduction. To their panditya I owe many valuable suggestions and corrections. Some doubts or objections they raised prompted me to write a few addenda meant to clarify my point of view. For which I am most grateful to them taking upon myself all the dosas which might have remained.
