Нарративные аспекты прошлой жизни (전생) в буддийских историях республики Корея и Шри-Ланки

5. Conclusion

The past-birth motif is a common point of the Buddhist stories of both Korea and Sri Lanka. The past birth motif in Buddhist stories could be analogized with the principal of the earlier narrative in both countries. The Sri Lankan Buddhist stories are more edifying with direct interventions by the narrator (or characters within the story) than Korea's. Succeeding studies are necessary.
