Abstract
The manuscript P. T. 1257 is a bilingual vocabulary in Tibetan and Chinese. It mainly summarizes some of the most basic Buddhist terms, as well as some of the contents of the Samdhinirmocanasūtra. Based on the calligraphy of this document, we can find at least five people involved in the writing. In addition, we also can get some historical information about the manuscript’s users. In general, this bilingual vocabulary of Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism is of great value for us to understand the history of monks in Dunhuang who studied and engaged in Buddhist activities in the middle and late 8th century to 9th century.
