| Abstract | Three terms for “Buddha-nature” are used in the Mahāparinirvāṇa-mahāsūtra (hereafter MPM): tathāgatagarbha, tathāgatadhātu, and buddhadhātu. In this sūtra, the word dhātu is used in the meaning ‘element of the body’, and the compound buddhadhātu means ‘element of the body of the Buddha’. This term is therefore concerned with its original and general meaning ‘relic of the Buddha’. In the section in which the idea amṛta is thematized, the compound buddhadhātu is used obviously with the meaning ‘relic of the Buddha’. This section seems to contain early expressions of the buddhadhātu in the MPM and allows for a possible interpretation of an earlier stage of the idea of “Buddha-nature”. Furthermore, the amṛta-section could shed light on a difficult passage in the Senavarma inscription, the interpretation of which is controversial. |
