I don't know who chose the words between MYAKU and KON, and put theword into the holy scripture. We can find the word KON among thetranscriptions from TONKOU (Tunhwang ) which now exist in the follwingscripturesMiddle of 5th century AD~ HOKKEKYO NYORAI JINRYOKUBONDANPEN ( )5th century AD~ MAKAHANNYAHARAMITSU ZOKURUIBON DAI 丗 (狠 )505 AD DAIHAN NEHANKYOU DAI 四十 ( ) But even printing method, writing by stick, brush writing, and the quality ofpaper were considered, it seemed to be very difficult to decide the period thesutra were written.I don't know the reason why the word MYAKU came out in the later years.So far as I know,The word MYAKU is first used in“HANNYAHARAMITASutra written by OH-YO-JUN in Tung dynasty on October 1st in 635AD when he was 79yearsold. ( Anthology of Chinese Buddhist Scripture published by NIGENSHA ).This sutra is the most available material we can find as an example of theMyaku is used.As to the HANNYA-SHINGYO sutra translated by Genjyou Sanzo who wasborn in 602AD, The sutra was translated while he was KANNYAKUBUJA,which was in northern part of India, and learning the principle of Buddhismwhen he was 34 years old. So The sutra did not exist in 635AD and it was notthe work of Oh-YO-JUN. So we can say the sutra was written around 649ADor 649AD onward.I am eager to know which word were used in the KUMARAJUtranslation ( 402AD ^ 412 ) which had a legendary reputation, if authenticversion still exist.
KUMARAJU was welcomed as the Reverend of the nation in You-Shin and was a legendary man of perseverance and had a legend that even if he died, his tongue remained(a man of persistence)
By the way the sutra in which the word KON is used does not always mean awrong sutra. The sutra itself fulfils its function, teach people principle ofBuddhism. There is only a slight difference like the difference betweendiamond and ruby.KON might be“he sutra which comes close to truth”and which strikes evilspirit which people are apt to indulge in.It is a painful effort to transcript the sutra in which the word MYAKU isused with concentration and with sitting up straight and always keep it as acharm.I think nobody would make a handwritten copy of the sutra if this is evilenlightenment - the cursed sutra is written in Japanese syllabary, becausethe meaning is clear for Japanese if it is written in kana or Japanese syllabicwriting instead of Chinese character.I have a acquaintance whose sweetheart died of cancer missing the chance ofearly physical examination and told of his hard feeling.The sutra teaches people that all is vanity, and there is validity in vanity. Itis all right to be absorbed in transcribing the Sutra and various thoughtsarise in the process . There should not be contradiction in the sutra.
