DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Kirill Solonin (Renmin University\,
  Beijing)\n\nThe presentation probes into a specific version of Kumārajī
 va lore discovered in one Tangut commentary to the Diamond sūtra. The com
 mentary itself is apparently a composition based on the Northern Song reco
 nstructed version of the Jingang jing 金刚经纂 originally composed dur
 ing the late Tang by the famous Huayan master Guifeng Zongmi. The text was
  later reconstructed by the Northern Song Huayan master Jinshui Jingyuan 
 晋水净源 and eventually found its way into the Tangut state. Although 
 the commentary generally adheres to the Huayan manner of interpretation\, 
 the preface to the text contains specific Tangut version of the legend of 
 Kumārajīva\, who is identified with several important figures of Indian 
 and Tibetan Buddhism. This probably represents the specifically Tangut int
 erpretation of the Buddhist history in India and China.\n\nPersonal inform
