Abstract

The mystical significance of fire is common to many cultures and religions. For the Buddhist community acts of self-mutilation by burning reflect a tradition for which the direct precedent is set in the ancient scriptures of the Lotus Sutra. Burns are produced by contact with incense and treated with oil and vegetable dressings. Two cases are presented and discussed with reference to early Buddhist beliefs.

摘要

火的神秘意义在许多文化和宗教中都很常见。对于佛教团体来说，通过烧灼进行自我伤害的行为反映了一种传统，其直接先例在《法华经》的古代经文中有所记载。烧伤是由接触香火造成的，并用油和植物敷料进行治疗。本文介绍了两个案例，并参照早期佛教信仰进行了讨论。
