馃摉 Title: Anuruddha and 惭补丑腻-碍补肠肠腻苍补: Tracing the Contours of Two Early Buddhist Lineages
馃帣 Speaker: Dr. Alexander Wynne
馃搮 Date: 12 March 2025
In this insightful talk, Dr. Wynne examines two prominent disciples of the Buddha鈥�Anuruddha, a Sakya from Kapilavatthu and cousin of the Buddha, and 惭补丑腻-碍补肠肠腻苍补, the son of a royal purohita from Ujjeni.
Rather than being isolated mentions, the P膩li canon鈥檚 references to these figures form distinct patterns: Anuruddha is associated with meditative texts mainly located in Kosala/Ceti, while 惭补丑腻-碍补肠肠腻苍补 is linked with doctrinal analysis and a textual tradition rooted in 础惫补苍迟颈/惭补诲丑耻谤腻.
Dr. Wynne argues that these patterns reflect the concerns of early regional Buddhist lineages and offer valuable insights into the formation of the early Buddhist episteme.
