应县木塔秘藏中的辽代戒牒

On the Buddhist Certificate Presswork of Liao Dynasty Unearthed in Yingxian Wooden Pagoda Cache

在应县木塔秘藏中有两件辽代印制戒牒,时间上与敦煌戒牒相衔接,均为菩萨戒牒,弥补了宋朝中期戒牒的空缺。由于辽朝制度多仿照唐宋,而宋代内地戒牒未有流传至今者,这两件戒牒不仅是研究辽代佛教史的实物,对于研究宋代戒牒也具有重要参考价值。

Among Yingxian wooden pagoda cache there are two pieces of the Liao dynasty printed buddhist precept certificates. Both are bodhisattva precept certificates, later than those from Dunhuang. They make up for the vacancy of Song Dynasty metaphase buddhist precept certificate. Because Liao Dynasty’ system modeled copied the Tang and Song Dynasties’, while the buddhist precept certificate inland of Song Dynasty was not handed down, they are not only historical documents for Liao Dynasty Buddhism study, but also have an important reference value for the study of Song Dynasty buddhist precept certificate.
