Kitab Buddhavaṁsa (Pali untuk "Wangsa Buddha"; disingkat Bv) adalah kitab suci hagiografis Buddhisme Theravāda yang menjelaskan kehidupan Buddha Gotama, kehidupan dua puluh empat Buddha sebelumnya, dan prediksi pencapaian Kebuddhaan-Nya.^[1]^[2] Kitab ini merupakan bagian dari Khuddaka Nikāya yang merupakan bagian terakhir dari Sutta Piṭaka.^[3] Sutta Piṭaka merupakan satu dari tiga piṭaka ("keranjang") yang membentuk Tripitaka Pali milik Buddhisme Theravāda.^[4]

Bersama dengan kitab Apadāna dan kitab Cariyāpiṭaka, menurut para cendekiawan, kitab ini ditulis sekitar abad ke-1 dan ke-2 SM, dan dianggap sebagai bagian Tripitaka Pali yang disahkan belakangan.^[5]^[6]

Susunan

Bab pertama kitab Buddhavaṁsa menjelaskan cara Buddha Gotama, dengan kekuatan adiduniawi-Nya, membuat jalan setapak berhiaskan permata di langit.^[7] Melihat pemandangan tersebut, Sāriputta bertanya kepada Sang Buddha:

"Seperti apakah, pahlawan agung, yang tertinggi di antara manusia, tekad-Mu? Pada waktu kapan, orang bijak, Kebangunan tertinggi dicita-citakan oleh-Mu? ... Seperti apakah, orang bijak, pemimpin dunia, sepuluh kesempurnaan-Mu? Bagaimana kesempurnaan yang lebih tinggi terpenuhi, bagaimana kesempurnaan tertinggi?"^[8] (Membahas tiga tingkatan paramita)

Sebagai tanggapan-Nya, Buddha menyampaikan isi Buddhavaṃsa lainnya.^[9]

Dalam bab kedua, Buddha Gotama menyampaikan kehidupan lampau-Nya sebagai petapa Sumedha. Ia menerima prediksi dari Buddha Dīpaṅkara bahwa "Di era berikutnya, kamu akan menjadi seorang Buddha bernama Gotama,"^[10] dan menyampaikan sepuluh paramita yang perlu dilatih-Nya.

Bab 3 hingga 26 menceritakan kisah dua puluh empat Buddha historis yang mencapai Kebuddhaan selama masa Buddha Dīpaṅkara hingga Buddha Gotama, serta tindakan jasa kebajikan yang dilakukan oleh Buddha Gotama terhadap Para Buddha di kehidupan lampau-Nya.

Bab 27 menceritakan kisah tentang kehidupan Buddha Gotama.^[1]

Bab 28 menyebutkan tiga Buddha sebelum masa Buddha Dīpaṅkara,^[1]^[11] juga Buddha masa depan, Metteyya.^[1]^[12]

Bab 29 menceritakan tentang pembagian relikui Sang Buddha Gotama setelah wafat-Nya.^[1]
