Sautrāntika (English spelling)

Japanese: 経量部 - きょうりょうぶ（英語表記）Sautrāntika

Also called the Sutra school. A sect of Indian Buddhism. It is included in the Nyāmaṇicāda school of Buddhism. It is said to have been established separately from the Sarvastivada school around the middle of the 1st century. Its pioneers are thought to have been Kumāralāta (transliterated as Kumarāda, translated as Tōjū), known as the Master of Allegory, and Śrīlāta (Murīrāta), and it seems to have been a branch of the Gandharan lineage. Its distinctive feature is that it placed special importance on the sutras preached by Shakyamuni, which contrasts with the Sarvastivada school, which placed importance on treatises, which are research books on the sutras. Its ideological distinctiveness is that it understands all existence to be temporary, that past actions (karma) have the potential (seed) to bring about results, and that these constitute a special base called the "ichimiun," which will continue to exist from the present to the future and become the subject of reincarnation. This school produced Harivarman (→Karivatma), who wrote the Treatise on the Realization of True Buddhism (around the 3rd to 4th century).

Japanese:

経部ともいう。インド仏教の一派。部派仏教に含められる。1世紀なかば頃説一切有部から独立して成立したとされ，その先駆者として，比喩師と呼ばれるクマーララータ Kumāralāta (鳩摩羅駄と音写，童受と訳す) ，シュリーラータ Śrīlāta (室利羅多) が考えられており，ガンダーラの系統の一派であったらしい。特色は，釈尊の説いた経を特に重要視した点にあり，経に対する研究書である論を重要視した説一切有部などと好対照をなす。思想的な特徴は，もろもろの存在は仮の存在であると解し，過去になした行為 (業) が結果を導き出す潜在的な力 (種子〈しゅうじ〉) をもち，それらが「一味蘊 (いちみうん) 」と呼ばれる特殊な基体を構成し，これが現在から未来まで存在し続け，輪廻の主体となると主張したことにある。この派の系統からは，ハリバルマン Harivarman (→訶梨跋摩〈かりばつま〉) が出て，『成実論 (じょうじつろん) 』を著わした (3～4世紀頃) 。
