| Abstract | A severely fragmented sheet of birch-bark from Gandhara was found inscribed with
eleven stories of the avadāna type, which means that they center around episodes
involving laypeople and monks, but do not have the Buddha as a protagonist. The stories
deal with ascetics of other communities, and they discuss the value of luxury or present a
ghost as the cause of illness. The first story appears to be a long adaptation of the
Aṅgulimāla episode. Of particular interest for the history of Buddhism is the second
story concerning the self-immolation of a layman, which constitutes the earliest mention
of such an act in an Indian Buddhist context. |
