| 摘要 | This dissertation contains four sections including an introduction, the translation of two texts—the Manicūdā-vadāna from the Mahajjhātakamālā and from Ksemendra's Avadānakalpalatā, a discussion of Manicūdā's many roles in other Buddhist texts, and an analysis of Manīcūda's act of dāna. The first chapter deals with relevant scholarship on the texts to date. It generally introduces what scholars have done on the Manicūdāvādāna . The next focus of this chapter is on the transmission and development of the Manicūdāvādāna . Chapter 2 contains two translations of Manicūda story. The next section, Chapter 3, is mainly concerned with the variety of the texts on Manicūda that exist outside India and are found today in the Chinese Tripitaka. This “larger” picture of the Manicūda story points out the significance of different roles that Manicūda played. Chapter 4 discusses Manicūda's well-known heroic action, selfless giving, or dāna. It could be considered “sin-expiation”, etc.; but another consideration of this action is given. I seek to understand this deed as the first stage (bhūmi) of a Bodhisattva's spiritual journey toward the highest enlightenment. He must symbolically die, in order to be reborn on a higher level in his progress on the Bodhisattva path. The sacrifice of Manicūda in this interpretation is a kind of initiatory ritual. |
