Abstract:

The ancient Uyghur literature originated primarily with the translation of religious texts. The translations of sacred texts of religions such as Buddhism, Manichism and Christianity to the Ancient Uighurca highlight many issues such as the language of the time, religion, speech existence and Turkish term extraction activities. The text that forms the subject of this study belongs to the Faxiang (法相宗), which is developed on the basis of the Yogācāra system of the Buddhist Mahāyāna ekol. Yogācāra, which forms one of the two philosophical systems of the Mahāyāna ekol along with Mādhyamaka; was brought and developed in a systemic state by Asaṅga and Vasubandhu. The work of Vasubandhu, who has made a great contribution to the Yogācāra ecole with his works, named Triṃśikā-vijñaptimātratā, and the founder of the Faxiang ecole, Xuanzang (玄) has not a complete translation but has taken the work of Cheng weishi lun (成唯識論), which is not a complete translation, but has taken the work of the Cheng weishi lun (成唯識論) which is moving from both the Triṃśikā and the ten-member interpretations written on it. Today, the Mainz 2 (T I D) and U 1374a (T I D 1) archive fragments, which make up the 6th and 8th leaves of the 21st chapter of a writing in the Berlin Turfan Collection, also make up parts of the translation of Xuanzang's work Cheng weishi lun into the Old Uighur. This study will begin with an introduction to Buddhism before Cheng weishi lun and Faxiang, and will then present an analytical directory with the text translation, literary translation, translation, text-related notes and vocabulary of the mentioned fragments.
