1	A study of inscribed reliefs within the context of donative inscriptions at Sanchi Milligan, Matthew David 17 December 2010 (has links) Inscribed relief art at the early Buddhist archaeological site of Sanchi in India exhibits at least one interesting quality not found elsewhere at the site. Sanchi is well known for its narrative reliefs and reliquaries enshrined in stūpas. However, two inscribed images of stūpas found on the southern gateway record the gifts of two prominent individuals. The first is a junior monk whose teacher holds a high position in the local order. The second is the son of the foreman of the artisans of a king. Both inscribed stūpa images represent a departure from a previous donative epigraphical habit. Instead of inscribing their names on image-less architectural pieces, these two particular individuals inscribed their names on representations of stūpas, a symbol with a multiplicity of meanings. In this thesis, I use two perspectives to analyze the visual and verbal texts of these inscribed reliefs. In the end, I suggest that these donations were recorded as part of the visual field intentionally, showing the importance of not only inscribing a name on an auspicious symbol but also the importance of inscribing a name for the purpose of being seen. / text Buddhism Archaeology Art history Buddhist studies India Indian Buddhism Sanchi Buddhology Epigraphy Indian epigraphy Brahmi Donation Inscriptions Dana History of Buddhism Indian history
2	漢譯佛典《大般涅槃經》敘事研究 / The Study on the Narrative of Mahāparinirvāna-sūtra 邱琬淳, Chiu, Wan Chun Unknown Date (has links) 本論文以漢譯大、小乘《涅槃經》為研究對象，依循經典本身的敘事脈絡，運用相關的敘事學理論，從情節結構、空間場景、人物形象等敘事要素，分析比較大、小乘《涅槃經》的敘事特色與思想主題，尋繹兩類經典間的互文性軌跡。並於敘事文本分析的基礎上，探討佛般涅槃故事敘事策略的轉向與佛教教理承衍轉變的發展關係。本論文共為六章，第一章說明本文研究動機、研究範圍，綜述前人研究成果，說明研究方法及目的。第二章《遊行經》作為小乘《涅槃經》的代表，藉用敘事學的空間理論探討小乘《涅槃經》空間敘事的語義內涵，以見小乘《涅槃經》的敘事特色與主題意涵，建立比較大、小乘《涅槃經》的論述基礎。第三章以大乘《涅槃經》〈序品〉為中心，依佛陀展現的三次涅槃意象，分析依序出場的涅槃會眾，並探討敘述者介紹各組涅槃會眾時所隱含的敘事聲調。說明大乘《涅槃經》敘述者如何建構壯麗宏闊的敘事場景，一掃小乘《涅槃經》中眾人悲啼不捨的哀戚氛圍，將佛陀涅槃的雙樹空間重構成大乘涅槃空間，奠定大乘《涅槃經》的敘事基調。第四章以大乘《涅槃經》的人物敘事為線索，透過對比大、小乘《涅槃經》的出場人物與情節意涵的改寫，說明大乘《涅槃經》承襲小乘敘事資源的同時，如何改寫故事情節、敘事主題以為己用，並將聖弟子的典範由聲聞比丘改為大乘菩薩。第五章以「如來常住不滅」為討論中心，分別從示現說的理論建構、人物的語言風格，以及事件的重述與改寫，探討大乘《涅槃經》的敘述者如何借用佛陀語言的權威性與敘事策略，來填補小乘、大乘《涅槃經》在主題思想與故事情節的落差，進而將小乘《涅槃經》的佛陀入滅改寫為法身常住，實不涅槃。次從時間類型與敘事結構分析兩類《涅槃經》，說明大乘《涅槃經》以佛陀色身的循環示現、如來法身的永恆存在打破小乘《涅槃經》的歷史時間，使佛陀般入涅槃敘事素材超越有為生滅變化，成為涅槃常樂我淨、法性常住無有變異的哲理性論述。第六章〈結論〉分別從敘事策略的轉向與佛教法義的承衍兩方面，說明大、小乘《涅槃經》的敘事意涵與文本效應，藉此總結本論文研究成果。大般涅槃經涅槃敘事學佛陀觀示現遊行經 Mahāparinirvāna-sūtra nirvāna narratology Buddhology
