摘要
一问题的提出《法华经》是大乘佛教中的一部重要经典,对中国佛教的发展有着深远影响。敦煌作为佛教圣地,其法华信仰源远流长且具有深厚的信仰基础。从敦煌藏经洞出土的文献情况来看,当中保存有总数五千号以上鸠摩罗什翻译的《妙法莲华经》,另有大量其他译本的《法华经》及相关的注疏文献。^(①)此外,敦煌石窟中还保存了大量法华造像,其出现时代从北朝开始至宋代结束。
During the High Tang Dynasty,the Lotus statues in Dunhuang Grottoes became more and more mature,and were more closely related to Buddhist doctrines and religious practices.Mogao Cave 23 is the representative cave of Lotus statues in the High Tang Dynasty.Through the analysis of the relationship between the Lotus Sutra illustrations in the main room of the cave and the other diff erent sutra illustrations in the four bevels on the top of the cave,it can be seen that the murals on the top of the cave are controled by Lotus thought and all of them have connections with Lotus thought.At the same time,after discussing the statues in Mogao Cave 23 with the Lotus,Avalokiteśvara,Pure Land,Maitreya and Usnisa Vijaya confessional ritual.We infer that the cave is a confessional space under the control of Lotus thought and many diff erent confessional rituals are assembled in this cave.
