| 抄録 | As it has traveled，the Buddhalegend has carried complex messages and sets of ideas, among which is the kinship of living beings. When the story made its way to Europe in the medieval period in the form of Barlaam and Josaphat，however，many of its messages were removed，and the kinship of living beings was one of the casualties. Concentrating on a particular episode in Barlaam and Josaphat，I show how the kinship of living beings was progressively deleted. I then suggest that this removal was based，in part，on an historical practice used for the detection and repression of Manichaeism：the killing test. With the help of this mechanism of inquisition and persecution，the Buddhalegend was prevented，until the nineteenth century，from transmitting one of its key messages to the West. |
