Abstract本研究呈現范傑納著名的人類學理論「通過儀式」融通用於佛陀的本生故事。雖然將佛教神話和「門檻性」概念相結合的方式並不常見,但卻是個對於要了解菩薩道思想內容很有展望性的理論方式。
本文的開頭先陳述神話對於人類文化相關性以及介紹應用歐洲神話學理論來尋找佛教神話所面對的問題。第二部分提出范傑納理論的概要以及使用在本研究中的四個部分:門檻性之空間、社會屬性、英雄的內在與外在轉化。最後是應用此四部分來分析探討常啼菩薩和善慧的故事。

Present research demonstrates that Arnold Van Gennep’s widely known anthropological theory, the “rites of passage” can be accommodated in stories of the Buddha’s previous rebirth. Connecting Buddhist myths with the notion of “liminality” is not a widespread nevertheless promising proposition in order to gain more knowledge on the Bodhisattva Path.
In the first part of this paper we argue the relevance of mythology in human mculture and introduce the problems of applying European mythographical aspects in the research of Buddhist myths. In the second part we give an outline of Van Gennep’s theory and its possible usage in our study in form of a heuristic fourfold division: liminality of space, social attributes, outer and inner transformation of the hero. Then we apply these aspects, in the stories of Sadāprarudita and Sumedha.
