Registration Form — Workshop on Vinaya-saṃgraha in Chinese and Tibetan (31 Aug – 4 Sep 2026)

This five-day intensive workshop focuses on reading and translating one selected section of Vinaya-saṃgraha in both Chinese and Tibetan translations, with reference to Mūlasarvāstivāda-vinaya related texts. Led by Dr. Kishino Ryoji, a leading scholar in the field, the workshop welcomes graduate students from relevant fields from CUHK and other universities for collaborative study and discussion.

Reminder:
This workshop will be conducted in English. Participants with a basic understanding of Tibetan may be better able to follow the discussions; however, no prior knowledge is required, and all are welcome to join the workshop.

Workshop Content:
The primary reading material for our workshop is one of the major handbooks of the Mūlasarvāstivāda-vinaya, the Vinaya-saṃgraha (Chi. 律攝, Tib. འདུལ་བ་བསྡུས་པ), which is attributed to the medieval Indian monk *Viśeṣamitra (Chi. 勝友; Tib. ཁྱད་པར་བཤེས་གཉེན, no later than the seventh century CE). This text is unfortunately not preserved in Indian manuscripts but is fully preserved in two translations in Chinese and Tibetan. The Chinese translation is made by Yijing 義浄 (635–713), who studied at Nālandā. This indicates that the Vinaya-saṃgraha was regarded as an important text, at least at Nālandā in India, and was transmitted into both Chinese and Tibetan cultural spheres, exerting a broad influence on later Buddhist traditions in Asia. The Vinaya-saṃgraha has not, however, received sufficient scholarly attention; there are only a handful of modern studies in which it has been discussed in any detail. These discussions are, moreover, limited to small portions of the text and mostly focus on Yijing’s translation, often disregarding the Tibetan translation. In our workshop, we will read one section of the Vinaya-saṃgraha on ordination by comparing Yijing’s translation with the Tibetan translation in order to explore the distinctive features of the text.
