The jataka and avadana constitute one of the most widely disseminated and vibrant genres within the Buddhist literary tradition. As narrative tales—ranging from concise to lengthy and elaborate—they communicate the teachings of the Buddha to a broader audience in an accessible and appealing manner. These stories have been transmitted across diverse regions of Buddhist Asia in a variety of languages, and they have significantly influenced the development of visual art forms unique to each cultural context.
