| 抄録 | This paper aims to shed more light on the interrelationship between Buddhism and Jainism in the
7th century (§ 1 and § 6). The starting point of my examination deals with a particular divination
event for Xuanzang (602–664) performed by a Jain monk in Nālandā. The relevant records in
Xuanzang’s biography (§ 2) and in Kuiji’s biography (§ 3) clearly show that this encounter with
the Digaṃbara monk named *Vajhara, who predicted for the Chinese Master a successful return
journey, had a significant impact on the latter’s final decision to travel back to China. However, in
all of the research on Xuanzang, hardly any attention has thus far been paid to this highly
interesting fact. Furthermore, the controversial attitude of Jainism and Buddhism towards the
fortune-telling ritual as taught in the respective canonical scriptures of both religions (§ 4) will be
pointed out. Finally, the author proposes to demonstrate that the common Chinese perception of
Jains as “skilled soothsayers” can probably be traced back to Xuanzang himself, who first
introduced the term shan-zhan ni-qian 善占尼乾 “Nirgraṇṭhas as skilled soothsayers” in China
(§ 5). |
