摘要：Did the Buddha practice asceticism prior to his awakening? A critical analysis of theMāhasīhanāda Sutta from the Majjhima Nikāya: It is widely believed, that the Buddhapracticed the most radical forms of asceticism and self‑mortificationprior to his awakening.A critical analysis of the suttas depicting that crucial period of his life shows, however, thatthe only text which portrays the bodhisatta as a foremost ascetic is the Māhasīhanāda Sutta(MN 12/I, 68). The aim of this paper is to examine the issue of the authenticity of this textand thus to answer the question as to whether there is enough ground to claim that theBuddha was an ascetic at all. Through a comparative analysis, I show that the structure andcontent of the Māhasīhanāda Sutta cannot be reconciled with other suttas from the MajjhimaNikāya, which describe the bodhisatta’s path to awakening. I point out certain late features ofthe Māhasīhanāda Sutta. Then, through a comparative analysis I try to show that some partsof the Buddhist text may have been borrowed from the Jain Āyāraṁga Sutta. Next, I attemptto reinterpret the term attakilamathānuyogo from the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta in sucha way which will not pertain to asceticism. In the final part of the paper, I try to explain howthe view that the Buddha was a foremost ascetic prior to his awakening could have arisen.
