Bodhisattvas of the Forest delves into the socioreligious milieu of the authors editors and propagators of the Rastrapalapariprccha-sutra Question of Rastrapala a Buddhist text circulating in India during the first half of the first millennium CE In this meticulously researched study Daniel Boucher first reflects upon the problems that plague historians of Mahayana Buddhism whose previous efforts to comprehend the tradition have often ignored the social dynamics that motivated some of the innovations of this new literature Following that is a careful analysis of several motifs found in the Indian text and an examination of the value of the earliest Chinese translation for charting the sutras evolutionThe first part of the study looks at the relationship between the bodily glorification of the Buddha and the ascetic career-spanning thousands of lifetimes-that produced it within the socioeconomic world of early medieval Buddhist monasticism The authors of the Rastrapala sharply criticise their monastic contemporaries for rejecting the rigorous lifestyle of the first Buddhist communities an ideal that for the sutras authors self-consciously imitates the disciplines and sacrifices of the Buddhas own bodhisattva career the very career that led to his acquisition of bodily perfection Thus Boucher reveals the ways in which the authors of the Rastrapala co-opted this topos concerning the bodily perfection of the Buddha from the Mainstream tradition to subvert their co-religionists whose behavior they co-religionists whose behavior they regarded as representing a degenerate version of that traditionIn part 2 Boucher focuses on the third-century Chinese translation of the sutra attributed to Dharmaraksa and traces the changes in the translation to the late tenth century The significance of this translation Boucher explains is to be found in the ways it differs from all other witnesses These differences which are significant almost certainly reveal an earlier shape of the sutra before later editors were inspired to alter dramatically the texts tone and rhetoric The early Chinese translations though invaluable in revealing developments in the Indian milieu that led to changes in the text present particular challenges to the interpreter It takes an understanding of not only their abstr4use idiom but also the process by which they were rendered from an undetermined Indian language into a Chinese cultural product One of the signal contributions of this study is Bouchers skill at identifying the traces left by the process and ability to uncover clues about the nature of the source text as well as the world of the principal recipients Bodhisattvas of the forest concludes with an annotated translation of the Rastrapalapariprccha-sutra based on a new reading of its earliest extant Sanskrit manuscript The translation takes note of important variants in Chinese and Tibetan versions to correct the many corruptions of the Sanskrit manuscript 288 pp.
