Author: Takamichi Fukita
This scholarly work presents a critical edition of the Mahāvadānasūtra, a foundational Buddhist text recounting the "Great Story" of the Buddha's previous lives and his final birth. Takamichi Fukita’s edition is based on manuscript fragments discovered in Northern Turkestan (modern-day Xinjiang, China) that date from the early centuries of the first millennium CE.
The book offers a meticulous reconstruction of the Sanskrit text using these rare Central Asian manuscripts, many of which are fragmentary but essential for understanding the transmission of Buddhist literature along the Silk Road. Fukita provides an introduction that contextualizes the Mahāvadānasūtra within Buddhist narrative traditions and explains its significance for Buddhist historiography and hagiography.
