SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The author publishes a fragment (Turfan Collection of the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften in Berlin) of an Old Turkic translation of the Yuanjuejing "Sūtra of Complete Enlightenment", a famous Chan work, and compares it with its Chinese original text. Although the translation strictly follows the Chinese, some deviations are of interest. The edition is accompanied by commentaries, two glossaries (Old Turkic - Chinese, Chinese - Old Turkic) as well as facsimiles.
