- 요약In Buddhist discourse, the term anumodana(suixi隨喜) refers to a practitioner's expression of joy at the teachings of the Buddhadharmaand at their fruition, either for others or oneself, in karmicmerit and other spiritual achievements. Whereas this emotional-cum-ritualtrope is prevalent across a wide array of Buddhist texts and practices, it receives remarkably emphatic treatment in the Lotus Sutra,a Mahayana Buddhist scripture which became arguably the most popular Buddhist text in East Asia following its first Chinese translations in the third and fifth centuries CE. This dissertation investigates the Lotus Sutra's specific configuration of anumodana, along with the elaboration of this trope by its early Chinese devotees. On one hand, it demonstrates how the Lotus Sutramarshals a host of literary strategies to both solicit the joyful response of its reader or hearer and present the wonderment and joy of anumodana at its own teachings as the very foundation of Buddhist piety and one's future buddhahood. On the other, it considers how the Lotus Sutra's vivid "affective regime"- its demand for its audiences' performance of anumodana-may have been registered, reiterated, and developed by its medieval Chinese devotees, and thus how it may have played into the exceptional popularity of this scripture in medieval China. It finds particularly revealing evidence of this elaboration in the extensive corpus of popular miracle tales used to propagate faith in the Lotus Sutraamong Chinese laypeople from the fourth to ninth centuries. These tales use their own array of literary techniques to invite their audiences' wonderment and joy at the scripture, as well as invaluably demonstrating how medieval Chinese Buddhists (ideally) incorporated anumodana into their religious lives. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that the Lotus Sutra's own forceful invocation of anumodana-its affective regime-was self-consciously elaborated by and for its medieval Chinese audiences as a particularly potent vehicle of Buddhist transmission and cult formation. It thus suggests that we consider more sensitively the roles affect may have played in Buddhism's history in China.
