仏教　Life of the Buddha　2

The evidence of the early texts suggests that he was born as Siddhārtha Gautama in Lumbini and grew up in Kapilavasthu,a town in the plains region of the modern Nepal–India border, and that he spent his life in what is now modern Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Some hagiographic legends state that his father was a king named Suddhodana, his mother was Queen Maya, and he was born in Lumbini gardens.However, scholars such as Richard Gombrich consider this a dubious claim because a combination of evidence suggests he was born in the Shakyas community – one that later gave him the title Shakyamuni, and the Shakya community was governed by a small oligarchy or republic-like council where there were no ranks but where seniority mattered instea.Some of the stories about Buddha, his life, his teachings, and claims about the society he grew up in may have been invented and interpolated at a later time into the Buddhist texts.

初期のテキストの証拠は、彼がルンビニのシッダールタ・ゴータマとして生まれ、現代ネパールとインドの国境の平野地域の町カピラバスで育ったこと、そして彼が現在のビハールとウッタルで人生を過ごしたことを示唆しています。

Some hagiographic legends state that his father was a king named Suddhodana, his mother was Queen Maya, and he was born in Lumbini gardens.
いくつかの伝記の伝説では、父親はSuddhodanaという王であり、母親はMaya女王であり、彼はルンビニの庭で生まれたと述べています。

However, scholars such as Richard Gombrich consider this a dubious claim because a combination of evidence suggests he was born in the Shakyas community – one that later gave him the title Shakyamuni, and the Shakya community was governed by a small oligarchy or republic-like council where there were no ranks but where seniority mattered instea.Some of the stories about Buddha, his life, his teachings, and claims about the society he grew up in may have been invented and interpolated at a later time into the Buddhist texts.
しかし、リチャードゴンブリッチなどの学者は、証拠の組み合わせがシャキャスコミュニティで生まれたことを示唆しているため、これを疑わしい主張と見なします。
仏教、彼の人生、彼の教え、そして彼が育った社会についての主張に関するいくつかの物語は、後に仏教のテキストに発明され、補間された可能性があります。
