| 摘要: | 《法句譬喻經》是漢譯譬喻佛典中比較早期的一部，此部經典是據《法句經》的偈語而鋪展開來的譬喻佛典，它將宣教的偈語融入故事當中，變成故事情節的一部分。 佛教對世俗大眾宣教時，常以故事做為宣教的工具，這些故事為了要吸引受眾者，會講究情節的布局以及人物的塑造，如此才能流傳久遠，研究佛經故事可以運用敘事學的方法，所以筆者擬從敘事學的幾項要素著手，即情節、人物、話語、敘述者與主題等。在研究目的上，希望經由文本的敘事分析，整理出經文的敘事藝術與敘事特色。 本論文共分六章，第一章說明研究動機及目的、概述當前研究概況、說明本論文的研究方法；第二章溯源經典的形成、概述經文組織及流傳情形；第三章探討佛陀的神通教化模式、分析佛陀教誡說理的方式；第四章眾生際遇的敘事分析，分析人物的行為及其情節，分別是人物面對無常的情節、業報輪迴的情節、善惡人物對立的情節以及人物從愚到賢的形象轉變；第五章與其他佛經相似故事進行比較；第六章結論，總結經文的敘事特色與文學價值。 經過論文的整理與分析之後，筆者歸納出《法句譬喻經》的敘事特色與文學價值如下：一是經文的故事內容開拓中國文學的題材，如業報輪迴、神通鬥法、生命無常等題材；二是在敘述者方面，敘述者常對人物內心進行描寫，並且常介入人事評論，有別於中國早期的敘事傳統；三是經文的義理一方面繼承佛教經律的精神，另一方面在故事內容與敘事形式上又有創新，而且是一部結構嚴謹的譬喻佛典。 “Dharmapada- avadāna” is the earlier one of Chinese Buddhist fable literature.
