| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Asubhabhavana is the Buddhist meditation on impurity. It consists of either a meditation on a corpse in various stages of decomposition or meditations both on a corpse and on the meditator's own body. Two texts that contain some of the most extensive accounts of asubhabhavana are Vibhasa and Sravakabhumi. During the grant period, I translated 52 passages in the Chinese Vibhasa, including one very long, important passage, available in two separate Chinese translations, which I compared in the form of a table. Mine is the first complete English translation of this passage.
I also made corrections to the published Sanskrit text of three passages in Sravakabhumi and translated them completely into English, two for the first time.
In addition, I made a presentation and published a paper, entitled "Asubhabhavana in Vibhasa and Sravakabhumi," in which I compared passages from the two texts, showing their two different styles of analysis, explanatory in Vibhasa, practical in Sravakabhumi.
