PratyekabuddhayānaPratyekabuddhayāna (Sanskrit: प्रत्येकबुद्धयान; ) is a Buddhist term for the mode or vehicle of enlightenment of a pratyekabuddha or paccekabuddha (Sanskrit and Pali respectively), a term which literally means "solitary buddha" or "a buddha on their own" (prati- each, eka-one). The pratyekabuddha is an individual who independently achieves liberation without the aid of teachers or guides and without teaching others to do the same. Pratyekabuddhas may give moral teachings but do not bring others to enlightenment.
DazangjingLe Dazangjing (大藏經 ; pinyin: Dà Zàng Jīng « Grande collection de sutras »), Canon chinois ou Tripitaka chinois, est le canon bouddhiste utilisé en Chine, au Japon, en Corée et partiellement au Vietnam. Il est composé surtout de textes mahayana, mais comprend aussi des textes issus des écoles du bouddhisme ancien qui ont leur équivalent dans le canon pali, ainsi que certains textes appartenant au bouddhisme tantrique. Comme le canon originel en pali, il est divisé en « trois corbeilles » : Sutras (經 jing), Vinaya (律 lü) et Abhidharma (論 lun).
Samadhiraja SutraThe Samādhirāja Sūtra (King of Samādhis Sūtra) or Candrapradīpa Sūtra (Moonlamp Sūtra) is a Buddhist Mahayana sutra. Some scholars have dated its redaction from the 2nd or 3rd century CE to the 6th century (the date of the earliest manuscript found), but others argue that its date just cannot be determined. The Samādhirāja is a very important source for the Madhyamaka school and it is cited by numerous Indian authors like Chandrakirti, Shantideva and later Buddhist authors.
