Abstract

In order to reveal the influencing factors in the formation of translated terms, this article takes the Buddhist term Sukhāvatī as an example and explores the terminological approach to Buddhist scripture translation studies from the three dimensions of communicative terminology including language, concept and communication. Through the theoretical discussion of these three dimensions, this article constructs a schemata-prototype-instantiations diagram on Sukhāvatī, and demonstrates the vital role played by the host culture in the translation of Buddhist scriptures.
