重泰寺水陆壁画内容考

A Study of The Murals of Divinities Preserved in Chongtai Temple

《天地冥阳水陆仪文》是作者考订出的散佚在佛藏外一百多年的水陆仪文,它是北水陆的修斋仪轨。经作者研究,北方地区所有水陆图像都是依据《天地冥阳水陆仪文》绘制,而重泰寺正是北水陆图像。本文拟以河北蔚县重泰寺为例,根据仪文对图像进行必要的释读,补充缺漏的榜题,对神祇分组并对明王本尊尊号进行了必要的释读。

It has been studied that the Buddhism literature of The Ceremony of the Heaven and Earth, Day and Night, Water and Land Feast (Tian Di Ming Yang Shui Lu Yi Wen), which has been missing for more than 100 years away from Tripitaka, proved to be the special rituals on the northern Water and Land (i.e. the northern Buddhist assembly worshipping and preaching). The essay believes that all the Water and Land images found in the northern areas were created in according to The Ceremony of the Heaven and Earth, Day and Night, Water and Land Feast (Tian Di Ming Yang Shui Lu Yi Wen), including the murals of Chongtai temple of Yu county of Hebei province, which is here taken for instance by the author to make an interpretation of its content and the honorific title of Fierce guardian of Buddhism, grouping the gods and making up the missing inscriptions based on The Ceremony.
