| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics and formation of Asvaghosa's Buddhacarita and other similar texts that temporally describe the life story of the Buddha. To do so, we compared the arrangement of these texts as well as sculptures from Northwest India (held to be where Buddhacarita was created), and found that they have structural similarities. Therefore, there is the possibility that such biographies of Sakyamuni were influenced by views of him particular to the area.
