No full textJātakas or stories of Buddha´s previous existences have a distinctive place in the history of Buddhist literature. The article brings forth the selection of Mahāvastu´s jātakas, all of which as its main subject have a previous encounter of Buddha and tempter Māra. The attempt will be made to explain the insistence of authors/ compilators of Mahāvastu on showing that almost every event in Buddha´s life has its parallel in some of his previous existences and to demonstrate how the cultivation of the Perfection of wisdom was understood as an essential requirement for Buddha´s victory over Māra in the night of his Enlightenment. Also, the author will try to show that jātakas illustrate Buddha´s skilfulness in teaching
Der verschwundene Weg des Buddhismus: religiöser Nonkonformismus als politisches Dissidententum im modernen Indien
No full textU radu se analizira grafički roman The Vanished Path [Iščezli put], nedavno objavljen u izdanju indijske podružnice svjetskoga izdavača HarperCollinsa (2015), crtača stripova i filmaša Bharatha Murthyja. Podnaslovljen „grafički putopis“, The Vanished Path govori o hodočašću Murthyja i njegove supruge, novoobraćenika na budizam, kroz rodno mjesto te religije – sjevernu Indiju i Nepal, gdje dominira hinduistička vjeroispovijest i gdje je budizam s vremenom izgubio na popularnosti. Sam Murthy kao važan utjecaj navodi epsku seriju autora mangi Osamua Tezuke Buddha (1972. – 1983.), smještenu u razdoblje ranoga budizma. Međutim, The Vanished Path od Buddhe razlikuje interes za vjersku politiku suvremene Indije, definiranu nedavnim usponom hinduističkoga militantnoga nacionalizma. Provedena analiza pokazuje da vizualni tekst grafičkoga romana The Vanished Path predstavlja otvoreni poziv na rehabilitaciju rane budističke misli u suvremenoj Indiji, a istodobno neizravno staje u obranu dugovječne tradicije sekularnih vrijednosti na tome području. Ta tradicija uključuje prihvaćanje religijskih manjina. Rad se također osvrće na kreativnu interakciju u stripu i grafičkome romanu između dviju azijskih kultura nasuprot u kritici uvriježenome povijesnome i geopolitičkome povezivanju zapadnih zemalja i Indije.This paper takes a close look at the graphic novel The Vanished Path (2015) by comics artist and filmmaker Bharath Murthy. Sub-titled as “a graphic travelogue”, The Vanished Path relates Murthy and his wife’s pilgrimage, as new entrants to the Buddhist faith, through Hindu-dominated northern India and Nepal, where the religion was born but later lost popularity. Murthy himself acknowledges the influence of manga author Osamu Tezuka’s epic series Buddha (1972–1983), set in the era of early Buddhism. However, The Vanished Path departs from Buddha in engaging with religious politics in contemporary India, which has witnessed the recent rise of Hindu militant nationalism. My analysis shows that while the visual text of The Vanished Path presents an overt plea for rehabilitating early Buddhist thought in modern India, the visual text concurrently encodes a covert defence of the longstanding tradition of secular values in the region. This tradition encompasses the acceptance of religious minorities. The paper also addresses creative engagements in comics and graphic novels between two different Asian cultures, as opposed to the critically familiar historical and geopolitical nexus between Western countries and India.Den Untersuchungsgegenstand dieses Beitrags bildet der graphische Roman The Vanished Path (2015) des Comiczeichners und Filmregisseurs Bharath Murthy. In dem mit dem Nebentitel „Ein graphischer Reisebericht“ versehener Roman wird die Reise von Murphy und seiner Ehefrau als buddhistische Neubekehrte durch das Gebiet Nordindiens und Nepals beschrieben, das als Geburtsstätte des Buddhismus gilt, wo allerdings diese Religion an Popularität eingebüßt hat und wo sich der Hinduismus breit machte. Murthy selbst erklärt, unter großem Einfluss des vom Manga-Autoren Osamu Tezuka verfassten epischen Werkes Buddha (1972–1983) zu stehen, dessen Handlung in der Zeit des frühen Buddhismus spielt. Dennoch liegt der Unterschied zwischen Tezukas und seinem Werk in Murthys Interesse an der durch den jüngsten Aufstieg des hinduistischen militanten Nationalismus bestimmten Religionspolitik des modernen Indiens. Aus der im Beitrag vorgenommen Werkanalyse geht hervor, dass der visuelle Text des graphischen Romans The Vanished Path zwar zur Rehabilitierung des frühen buddhistischen Gedankenguts offen aufruft, zugleich aber die langfristig praktizierte säkulare Tradition in diesem Bereich verteidigt, wonach das Vorhandensein von religiösen Minderheiten akzeptiert wird. Im Beitrag wird gleichfalls auf die kreative Interaktion im Bereich des Comics und des graphischen Romans zwischen diesen zwei asiatischen Kulturen eingegangen, und zwar trotz der in der Kritik sehr oft vorkommenden geschichtlichen und geopolitischen Verknüpfung Indiens mit den westlichen Ländern
