In this volume, Bhikshu Dharmamitra presents his translations of the three earliest editions of Arya Nagarjuna's "Letter from a Friend" (Suhrllekha), a work on the layman's practice of the Buddhist path. This text was written by Nagarjuna in the form of a letter of spiritual counsel to the early Indian monarch, King Satakarni.
These three editions were produced in the middle part of the first millennium by Tripitaka Masters Gunavarman, Sanghavarman, and Yijing. English translations and notes by Bhikshu Dharmamitra.
Dharmamitra's principal educational foundations as a translator of Sino-Buddhist Classical Chinese lie in four years of intensive monastic training and Chinese-language study of classic Maha¯ya¯na texts in a small-group setting under Master Hsuan Hua (1968-1972), undergraduate Chinese language study at Portland State University, a year of intensive one-on-one Classical Chinese study at the Fu Jen University Language Center near Taipei, two years of course work at the University of Washington's Department of Asian Languages and Literature (1988-90), and an additional three years of auditing graduate courses and seminars in Classical Chinese readings, again at UW's Department of Asian Languages and Literature.
Since taking robes again under Master Hua in 1991, Dharmamitra has devoted his energies primarily to study and translation of classic Maha¯ya¯na texts with a special interest in works by Arya Na¯ga¯rjuna and related authors. To date, he has translated more than fifteen important texts comprising approximately 150 fascicles, including the 80-fascicle Avata¿saka Sutra (the "Flower Adornment Sutra"), Na¯ga¯rjuna's 17-fascicle Dasabhumika Vibhasa ("Treatise on the Ten Grounds"), and the Dasabhumika Sutra (the "Ten Grounds Sutra"), all of which are current or upcoming Kalavinka Press publications (www.kalavinka.org).
