摘要
With this volume we welcome the addition of a new publication series to the Buddhist studies scene. The three texts studied here are：the Samadhirajasutra, chapters 1-4，translated collaboratively and edited here by the volume editors; the Gilgit manuscript of the Vajracchedika (that is, the "Diamond Sutra")，edited in Sanskrit and translated by Gregory Schopen; and antaraks, it's a (eighth-century) Madhyamakalam-kara, analyzed，edited，and translated by Masamichi Ichigo. This last is based on and develops aspects of the author's earlier，more extensive Japanese study of the same text (Kyoto，1985). The present publication conveniently brings this useful presentation of a little-known Madhyamaka treatise of considerable importance and influence to the doorstep of interested Anglophone readers.
