| 摘要 | While limited studies have been carried out in Asian contexts on Māra, a personification of evil in Buddhist mythology, the figure's representation in Western popular culture has been neglected. I compare Western representations of Māra in a novel, a film, and a theme park attraction with the figure's appearances in Asian Buddhist texts. I then argue that in these representations we can detect the presence of what David McMahan has termed “Buddhist Modernism” and what Jane Iwamura has called “Virtual Orientalism.” This analysis helps us understand the ongoing transformation of a Buddhist mythological figure. |
