本文将通过两个仪式表演背景来考察重复的使用：意大利南部萨伦托的塔兰教仪式的重复，以及藏传佛教金刚乘传统中包含手印、咒语和曼荼罗的神瑜伽练习。这两种背景将提供不同的方法来练习和体验重复，同时也展示了如何重复一个动作，声音和图像可以用来发展一个更大的身心连接，通过重复的行为加强身份感，归属感和奉献精神。在这两个仪式表演的背景下使用重复将通过佛教哲学的方面进行探索，特别是重复如何通过理解“自我”的构建方式对从业者的“自我”产生改变效果。这将涉及到对asanatta（无我）和theskhandas等概念的检验，以展示重复的练习是如何通过重复的动作来创造“自我”的转化的。这提供了将这种理解应用于演员的可能性，无论是在个人发展的躯体水平上，还是作为通过重复动作来“成为”角色的手段，这些动作可以改变身心以与角色的身心保持一致。这一切都检验了仪式表演中重复所固有的一个悖论：正是通过重复同一件事的行动，导致了身心的转变过程。
This article will examine the use of repetition through two ritual performance contexts: therimorsorepetition of the ritual of tarantism in Salento, Southern Italy, and the deity yoga practice incorporating mudras, mantras and mandalas found in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The two contexts will offer differing approaches to the practice and experience of repetition, whilst also demonstrating how repeating a movement, sound and image can be used to develop a greater bodymind connection that reinforces a sense of identity, belonging and devotion through the act of repeating. The use of repetition in these two ritual performance contexts will be explored through aspects of Buddhist philosophy, in particular how that repetition can create an altering effect on the ‘self’ of the practitioner through an understanding of the ways in which that ‘self’ is constructed. This will involve examining notions such asanatta(non-self) and theskhandasto show how the practice of repetition is a means to create a transformation of the ‘self’ through the action of repeating. This offers the potential for applying this understanding to actors, both at a somatic level of personal development, and also as a means for ‘be-coming’ a character through repeated actions that can alter the bodymind to align to that of the character. This all examines a paradox inherent in repetition in ritual performance: that it is through the action of repeating the same thing that leads to a process of transformation in the bodymind.
