廜摨暘 [py] zhong4tong2fen1 [wg] chung-t'ung-fen [ko] chungdongbun [ja] 僔儏僂僪僂僽儞 shuudoubun ||| (sattva-saamya, dharma, nikaaya-sabaagha) 'Commonality of sentient beings.' One of the 24 elements not concomitant with mind in Consciousness-only theory. 摨暘 means 'to resemble.' The fact that all human beings possess common characteristics is called 'human commonality.' The power of human beings to be human beings, and accordingly, to be distinguished from dogs, cats, etc. In the same way the commonality of dogs, cats, etc. is established. This is also true of vegetable and mineral life. The fact that a human being, in the middle of his life, cannot suddenly change into a dog or cat, is due to this power. [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)

廜惗 [py] zhong4sheng1 [wg] chung-sheng [ko] chungsaeng [ja] 僔儏僂僔儑僂 shuushou ||| "Sentient being." (1) All beings. In Buddhist scriptures, sentient beings are mentioned in contrast to buddhas, as those who are still bound in the suffering of sa.msaara, who are not yet enlightened; in this meaning, synonymous with 杴晇, which means "regular person," or "worldling." On the other hand, it is the awareness that is present in sentient beings--exactly their "sentiency" which is the quality of buddhahood itself. Therefore there is the Mahaayaana doctrine of "all sentient beings are originally buddhas." (2) After the time of Hsüan-tsang, this term was translated into Chinese as youqing 桳忣 "having sentiency." In the Nirvaana-suutra, it is clearly stated that 'sentient beings' means all things, even those things that we would normally consider inanimate, such as minerals, and that all of these things possess the Buddha-nature.

A record made of the extant Tripitaka in China on several occasions during the development of the Buddhist tradition in China. There are three: (1) That compiled in 594 by the team of twenty scholars headed by Fajing 朄鉙, also known as Fajing's catalogue (朄鉙榐). This was a comprehensive catalog of Chinese language sutras which was compiled by referring to all the listings of scriptures recorded in previous catalogues from the Six Dynasties period. The catalogue's systematic arrangement included 2,257 works in 5,310 fascicles, understood to be the total amount of sutras then extant in China. The compilers of this catalogue distinguished themselves by making clear note of the dubious provenance of such texts as the Renwang jing (恗墹鉙; Sutra of Benevolent Kings) and the Dasheng qixin lun. 7 fasc., T 2146.55.115-149. (2) The five fascicle version compiled eight years later (602) during the Sui by Yancong (557-610) and a group of Buddhist experts, for the express purpose of distinguishing between extant and non-extant works, which had not been done in the prior catalog. This work is distinguished by the fact that it allows for the canonical inclusion of certain texts such as the Fanwang jing (瀽栐鉙; Sutra of Brahma's Net), Renwang jing and Dasheng qixin lun. (3) The five fascicle version by Qingtai 栉懽丄 T 2148.55.180c-218. [Credit] acm(entry)
