"The notion of Pali-Chinese sutra parallels: theoretical
and practical issues".
Sutra correspondence tables identify numerous sets (usually
pairs) of Pali-Chinese parallels; their existence raises some
difficult interpretative issues. An obvious possible
interpretation is that the Pali sutta and its Chinese parallel(s)
are divergent derivatives of a single original discourse - with
attractive implications about the possibility of reconstructing
the common ancestral discourse; but how viable is this
interpretation? Please refer to
