| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims to construct a new history of early Buddhist texts that includes perspectives of laypeople. The research focuses on Sutta Recitations found in the Buddhist texts, as well as the group of Suttas that were recited by laypeople.
The term ‘Dhammapaliyaya’ (Dhammapariyaya) is used in the Asoka’s inscriptions which are considered the oldest records mentioning the Buddha’s teachings. As a result of the research, the meanings and contents of the term ‘Dhammapariyaya’ have changed over time, highlighting the need to clarify the term ‘Dhammapariyaya,’ and its relationship with the ‘Suttas’ as the teachings of Buddha.
Furthermore, this research project has revealed that Suttas were recited for the cultivation of the mind within Buddhist communities in ancient India.

本プロジェクトでは初期仏教文献の読誦性に焦点を当て研究をおこなった．
インド仏教最古の文字資料であるアショーカ王碑文ではブッダの教えがダンマパリヤーヤと呼ばれており，スッタとはなっていない．本研究を進め，国際ワークショップなどを開催し，ブッダの教えについて検討した結果，ブッダの教えは，ダンマパリヤーヤからスッタ，それらを集めたスッタピタカへとまとめられたと考えられるが，ダンマパリヤーヤとスッタについては，それらの術語の詳細が不明なまま使用されているとわかった．一般にも広く使われる法門や経という言葉に，仏教学の学術用語としては多くの問題が含まれていると周知できたことが本研究の意義である．
