Ti-lun
Ti-lun The conventional short form of the title of a Buddhist scripture in Chinese translation. The full title is
Shih-ti ching lun (Treatise on the Scripture of the Ten Stages,
Taishō 1522), a commentary by the Indian Buddhist scholar
Vasubandhu. This commentary aroused considerable interest among Chinese Buddhist scholars, and called attention to
Buddhabhadra's translation of the
Avataṃsaka Sūtra (Chin.,
Hua-yen ching) completed around 418, since the eighth fascicle of this work was the
locus classicus for the ten stages (
bhūmi) through which a
Bodhisattva passes on the way to full Buddhahood. Thus, Ti-lun scholars generally were familiar with the
Avataṃsaka as well. During the
T'ang dynasty, when the
Hua-yen school was established on the basis of the
Avataṃsaka Sūtra, it quickly absorbed Ti-lun scholars into its fold.
