| 摘要 | The idea of a bodhisattva was in early Buddhist literature later developed in Theravada Buddhist literature written in Pali and local languages under the influence of the Mahayana tradition. Through the use of its local Sinhala language and a few stories written in Pali, Sri Lanka contributed to the growth of the Maitreya myth. It also enhanced the Buddhist art and beliefs in the island. Based on the Pali Anāgatavaṃsa and its commentary Samantabhaddikā, Vilgammula Thera created the principal work about the next Buddha, the Sinhala Anāgatavaṃśaya during the Kurunegala era. The aim of this study is to comprehend the nature of the Maitreya myth’s genesis and growth in classical Buddhist literature written in the Sinhala language. The research takes a qualitative methodology approach and incorporates documentary analysis. The pioneering work on the subject in Sinhala, the Anāgatavaṃśaya, is the key source used for research, with other Sinhala texts Dharmapradīpikāva, Saddharmaratnākaraya, Saddharmālaṅkāraya, and Saddharmaratnāvaliya are also used appropriately. Several Sinhala and Pali legends published in Sri Lanka predict that King Kākavaṇṇatissa and Queen Vihāramahādevī, the great King Duṭṭhagāminī’s parents will be the parents of the next Buddha, with Duṭṭhagāminī serving as the great disciple. Maitreya’s Bodhi tree will be the ironwood tree, which is already the national tree of Sri Lanka. Furthermore, the Buddhists postponed the main objective till the time of the next Buddha without taking into account lay or monastic status, despite the early teachings of Buddhism emphasising the significance of obtaining nibbāna in this life. The essential components of Maitreya’s myth were developed by Buddhists in Sri Lanka merging their practices and beliefs in the island. 菩薩概念早已出現在早期佛教文獻中，後來受到大乘佛教傳統的影響，在南傳佛教國家逐漸發展壯大。通過使用當地的僧伽羅語以及巴厘語編寫的故事，斯里蘭卡等 南傳佛教傳統對彌勒佛神話的發展做出了貢獻，加強了島上的佛教藝術和信仰。基于巴厘文的《未來記》（Anāgatavaṃsa）及其注釋Samantabhaddikā，Vilgammula Thera 在13世紀末和14世紀初的庫魯內加拉王國，創作了未來佛的著作，即僧伽羅 語的《未來記》。本研究的目的在於理解彌勒佛神話在僧伽羅語古典佛教文學中的起源和發展。研究採用定性方法，並結合文獻分析。本篇研究僅限於僧伽羅語版《未來記》這一主要著作，並充分參考利用其他僧伽羅語文獻，如 Dharmapradīpikāva, Saddharmaratnākaraya, Saddharmālaṅkāraya, 和 Saddharmaratnāvaliya等。從這些作品中可見，彌勒故事的基本元素是由斯里蘭卡佛教徒融合他們在該島上的習俗和信仰而發展起來的。 |
