영문 초록

  This paper deals with some questions arising from the translation of attad？pa and dhammad？pa in the P？li Canon. That is, it is an attempt to research thoroughly into the Buddha"s original intention, when attad？pa and dhammad？pa are put into local languages. This seemingly trivial matter of translation is actually a very important subject because it has been the cause of misunderstanding the Doctrine of No-Self(Anattav？da) in Buddhism.
  Not only modern translators, but the Chinese translators of the Tripi？aka in the past as well, translated attad？pa and dham -mad？pa revealed in the P？li Nik？ya into various versions, con -siderably different from each other. The fundamental reason for the different interpretations of the text lies in the term d？pa in the P？li language. The word d？pa has two distinctive senses of island and lamp(light). Comparative investigations into the Buddhist Scriptures in the P？li Nik？ya, the Chinese ？gamas and several other translations are made to reveal how the Buddha used the word in question, either in the sense of island or of lamp. It is confirmed as the result of the comparative study that the Buddha here used the term in the meaning of island.
  The scriptural evidence is that the word "d？pa" was used with the synonyms such as shelter(t？na), cave(le？a), destiny(gati), goal (par？ya？a), and refuge(sara？a) in the Sa？yutta Nik？ya and its Com -mentaries. And the more apparent proof is in the representation of the word "d？pa" as island not lamp in the Sanskrit Scriptures, the Tibetan Scriptures, and even in the Dharmapada written in G？ndh？r？ corresponding to the P？li Nik？ya which deals with attad？pa and dhammad？pa . It is inferred from the examined data that the Buddha almost certainly used the term in the meaning of an island when he preached the set-form verse of attad？pa and dhamma-d？pa for the first time. Therefore, it is made clear that attad？p a and dhammad？pa are translated into "live ye as islands unto yourselves" and "live with the doctrine, as your island", but not into "be ye lamps unto yourselves" and "hold fast to the Truth as a lamp".
  On the other hand, the Buddha"s atta-sara？？ and dhamma-sara-？？ discourse was delivered on an extremely difficult occasion that he must endure suffering as a human being. At that time, the Buddha gave with great emphasis to his disciplines the lesson that "be ye a refuge to yourselves and a refuge to the Truth". And in the Sa？yutta Nik？ya, the Buddha presented to his followers the way of practicing concretely on taking refuge in themselves and the Truth, as an island, shelter, cave, goal, etc. That is the four satipa？？h？nas. Every one can achieve an arhantship or attain nibb？na through practices of the four satipa？？h？nas(k？ya, vedan？, citta, dhamma).
