Özet:

The Chinese pilgrim, translator and monk Xuanzang (玄奘) (602-664) traveled thorough Central Asia and South Asia between the years of 629 and 645, and learned about Buddhist mainstream schools and their authorities. When Xuanzang returned to China, he formed the school of Faxiang ‘dharma characteristics’. The text, which forms the subject of the paper, belongs to the Faxiang school (法相宗 Faxiang zong), which was developed from the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. Triṃśikā, written by Vasubandhu, and its ten prose commentaries, led to the emergence of Xuanzang’s Cheng weishi lun. Old Uyghur fragments published here belong to chapter 21 of a manuscript in the shape of a compilation, which is preserved in the Berlin Turfan Collection, and according to Kitsudō’s identification, the aforementioned chapter is a translation into Old Uyghur from a commentary to Xuanzang’s Cheng weishi lun by Queiji. In this paper, brief information will be given on Faxiang school, Xuanzang and Cheng weishi lun in the introduction part and in the following chapters, an unpublished 12th and 13th leaves of chapter 21 of the Old Uyghur manuscript will be presented as well as their translations into Turkish and notes concerning the text and glossary with an analytical index
