辽代经幢的类型、内容及其对人生的终极关怀

On the Types,Contents and Ultimate Concerns of Stone Pillars in Liao Dynasty

辽代普遍在石质经幢上刻写《佛顶尊胜陀罗尼经》和真言、咒语,反映出当时密教信仰的流行及其与世俗生活的交融。因为《佛顶尊胜陀罗尼经》被认为有破地狱之效,所以与死亡信仰存在密切关系,体现出辽代佛教对人生的终极关怀。

The Fodingzunsheng Tuoluonijing and the mantra were inscribed on the stone pillars in Liao dynasty, which reflected the popularity of the Esoteric Buddhism and its blending with the secular life. Because the Fodingzunsheng Tuoluonijing is considered to have the effect on breaking away from the hell, there is a close relationship with the death faith, which reflected the Buddhism ultimate concern for life in Liao dynasty.
