摘要
It is well-known that one of the scriptural proofs for the identification of Wutaishan as the abode of Mañjuśrī bodhisattva is the Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra. The origin or the compilation of this voluminous Mahāyāna sūtra might be closely associated with Central Asia. If we consider the Central Asian origin or edition of this scripture, Khotan could be a possible candidate, as this scripture seems to have been very important in this Central Asian oasis-state. Both Sanskrit manuscripts of the two Chinese translations of this scripture were taken from Khotan. The Khotanese monk Devendraprajñā who was active in translating Huayan sūtras was respected by both Wu Zetian and the Khotanese king. The longest extant Buddhist work that was originally composed in Khotanese is the Book of Zambasta, which seems to be influenced by the teachings of the Buddhāvataṃsaka. In this paper we study the appearance of Ox-head Mountain (Niutoushan 牛頭山) in the Huayan jing, and its identification with the Ox-head mountain of Khotan, and its various images in Dunhuang.
