English version Taisho Tripitaka Volume 50, No. 2055, A Record of the Deeds of Śubhakarasiṃha, the Tripitaka Master of the Xuanzong Dynasty, Granted the Title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies No. 2055 A Record of the Deeds of Śubhakarasiṃha, the Tripitaka Master of the Xuanzong Dynasty, Granted the Title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies Composed by disciple Li Hua The Tripitaka Śramaṇa Śubhakarasiṃha, in complete Sanskrit, should be pronounced Śubhakarasiṃha. The accurate translation in Chinese is ‘Pure Lion’. Interpreted by meaning, his name is Shanwuwei (善无畏, meaning 'Good Fearlessness'). He was a native of Magadha in Central India, residing in Nālandā Monastery in Rājagṛha. Originally of the Kshatriya caste, a noble lineage, he renounced worldly glory and became a monk, relying on the Buddha. His spirit was pure and serene, his spiritual achievements vast and evident. He was proficient in dhyāna and prajñā, and thoroughly understood the teachings of the Dharani Tripitaka. With a single-minded devotion, he traveled to the various countries of the Five Indies, spreading his fragrant name far and wide, with great compassion benefiting sentient beings, and having the karmic connection to gradually move eastward. Reaching the northern Indian border, his reputation resonated in Mahācīna. Our Emperor, bestowing upon him the honor of the Jixian Academy, dispatched envoys to welcome him. In the fourth year of the Kaiyuan era, a Jichen year, he arrived in Chang'an with a large collection of Sanskrit texts. Initially, he was placed in the South Pagoda Courtyard of Xingfu Monastery. Five years later, in the Ding Si year, at Bodhi Monastery, he translated one volume of the 'Vajragarbha Bodhisattva Sutra That Fulfills All Wishes, the Supreme Dhāraṇī for Seeking and Retaining Knowledge'. The Śramaṇa Xida translated the language, and the Śramaṇa Wuzhu compiled the text and took notes. Among the Sanskrit texts brought by the Upadhyaya, there was an imperial decree ordering them to be brought into the palace. Due to this, he was unable to widely translate various sutras. Previously, the Upadhyaya Wuxing traveled to India, completed his studies, and was returning to the northern regions when he unfortunately passed away. The Sanskrit texts he was carrying were brought back by imperial decree. They were stored at Huayan Monastery in the western capital under the care of Upadhyaya Wuwei (Śubhakarasiṃha). Together with the Śramaṇa Yi Xing, they selected several Sanskrit texts, all of which were teachings on Dharani. The Śramaṇa Yi Xing had never translated these before. In the twelfth year, he followed the imperial carriage to Luoyang and was placed in Dafuxian Monastery. The Śramaṇa Yi Xing requested the Tripitaka Master to translate the 'Mahāvairocana Sutra on Becoming a Buddha through Supernatural Transformation and Empowerment', in seven volumes. The sutra in complete Sanskrit contains one hundred thousand verses, and what is now being translated is only a summary of the essentials.

English version: Translated by Baoyue, with a team responsible for recording and polishing, and the Prime Minister responsible for reducing and refining the wording, so that the literary talent and content complement each other, skillfully blending profound interest. Also translated the 'Sūryagarbha Kumāra Sūtra' (Sūprahūta Kumāra Sūtra) in three volumes and the 'Susiddhikara Sūtra' in three volumes. The Tripiṭaka (Tipiṭaka) was simple and unadorned, contemplating quietly, and focusing his spirit. He often opened up meditation and observation, rewarding and encouraging beginners. Reciting with compassion, receiving and guiding sentient beings without omission. If people had doubts, he could answer them thoroughly without hindrance. For prayers to stop floods and droughts, he could also greatly protect the Sangha. Details are recorded in other biographies. Later, he submitted a request to return to his country, and the emperor issued an edict to stop him. On the seventh day of the eleventh month of the twenty-third year of Kaiyuan, he lay on his right side, with his legs crossed, and entered Nirvana in the meditation room. He lived to the age of ninety-nine, with eighty years in the Sangha. The Buddhist world was desolate, and even the heavens were shaken with grief. He was posthumously awarded the title of Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies (Honglu Qing), and buried in the western mountains of Qianlongmen. Li Xian, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, and the Vinaya Master Dingbin, who was in charge of the rituals of the Buddhist community, were responsible for supervising the funeral. On the eighth day of the eighth month, he was buried in the western mountains of Qianlongmen. The people of the capital mourned with tears, and the mountains and rivers changed color. 'Stele and Preface of the Venerable Śubhakarasiṃha, Tripiṭaka Master of the Great Sacred Good Temple in the Eastern Capital of the Great Tang Dynasty, formerly of Central India' Written by his disciple, Li Hua of Zhaojun, former Left Admonisher Written by the Śramaṇa Jiecheng of Changqing Temple in Hengfu Engraved and inscribed by the Śramaṇa Hengxiu of this temple The Venerable Śubhakarasiṃha (Śubhakarasiṃha) was a direct descendant of King Śuddhodana, with the Dharma name Śubhakarasiṃha (Śubhakarasiṃha). He was a descendant of King Amṛtodana, the uncle of Śākyamuni Buddha (Śākyamuni). His ancestors were enfeoffed from Central India to Andhra. His father was King Buddhahasta. Because the Venerable One was born with the appearance of a sage and possessed both virtue and talent at an early age, he underwent various tests. At the age of ten, he led the precepts, and at the age of thirteen, he inherited the throne. His brothers launched a rebellion, and he was forced to conquer them. He was wounded in battle, and his head was injured while resisting the wheels. The army won because it followed the will of heaven, and the brothers were preserved because of their love for their relatives. Therefore, he reported to the Queen Mother and told the ministers: 'The previous conquest was to sever affection out of righteousness. Now I have given the country to them, so that they can realize their ambitions.' Therefore, he abdicated the throne to his brother and firmly requested to leave home and practice. The Queen Mother agreed with sorrow and gave him the national treasure. He went south to the seaside, obtained a special monastery, and entered the 'Samādhi of the Lotus Sutra'. He piled up sand to build pagodas, vowing to build ten thousand. Even if he was bitten on the finger by a black snake, he would not retreat. He entrusted his body to a merchant ship and went to. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
