Abstract:
This article examines three major discourses selected from the Pāli Citta Saṃyutta and its Chinese counterpart Citra Saṃyukta (質多羅相應 Zhiduoluo Xiangying). It also for the first time provides a full translation of the Chinese Buddhist texts in conjunction with their Pāli parallels for comparison. It reveals similarities but also differences in content.
