构建觉悟之路——本生体裁的西藏改编

Alternative title:
Building the path to enlightenment: Tibetan adaptations of the Jataka Tale
Abstract:
本生(Jātaka)和譬喻(apadāna)故事屬於佛教敘事文學的主要內容。雖然大多數本生故事遵循相對穩定的敘事模板,但它們也被允許發生變化。本生故事以不同語言和文學形式被人講述並以簡單的散文敘述到複雜的詩歌或視覺表現形式被保存下來。本文重點討論本生故事體裁的西藏改編。文章首先對從梵文或中文翻譯成藏文,並納入藏傳佛教經典中的本生故事進行了概述。然後研究西藏佛教噶當派中的一個特定的本生系列。其中的框架敘事(frame story)特別令人感興趣,因為這可能是西藏敘述者最有創意的地方。在這些噶當派的本生故事中,敘事框架從印度轉移到西藏,框架敘事的主要人物是新皈依的藏傳佛教徒和他們的印度老師。這種對本生體裁高度原創性的改編表明,在西藏人對佛教的接受和適應中,敘事文學發揮了重要的作用。
[Jataka and apadāna stories constitute a major part of Buddhist narrative literature. While most Jataka tales follow relatively stable narrative templates, they are also allowed to vary. Jataka tales have been told in different languages ​​and literary forms , and have been preserved from simple prose narratives to complex poetic or visual expressions. This paper focuses on the Tibetan adaptation of the Jataka genre. The paper first provides an overview of Jataka tales translated from Sanskrit or Chinese into Tibetan and incorporated into Tibetan Buddhist scriptures. Then, a specific Jataka series from the Kadampa school of Tibetan Buddhism is examined. The frame stories within this series are particularly interesting, as they represent perhaps the most creative aspect of Tibetan narrators' work. In these Kadampa Jataka tales, the narrative frame is transferred from India to Tibet, and the main characters are newly converted Tibetan Buddhists and their Indian teachers. This highly original adaptation of the Jataka genre demonstrates the important role narrative literature played in the Tibetan acceptance and adaptation of Buddhism.]
