敦煌壁画中的宗教情怀与平等观念

Religious Feelings and the idea of Equality in Dunhuang Murals

敦煌壁画中的佛传故事画是由历代画师根据佛经绘制而成。这些故事画构图精巧,形象生动,色彩鲜明,主题突出,具有强烈的宗教色彩。笔者主要结合佛典,对敦煌壁画中的佛传故事进行了较为深入的考察,认为释迦牟尼的传奇人生,从开始出生、出家、悟道、说法,直至涅槃离世,始终浸透着佛教的慈悲情怀和平等观念。慈悲情怀是佛法的根本精神,平等观念是佛教的基本教义,二者贯穿于佛教的整个思想体系,在历史发展过程中发挥着重要作用。这对于我们解读敦煌壁画的思想内容,也很有启发意义。

The Buddhist storytelling in Dunhuang murals was drawn by painters of all dynasties according to Buddhist scriptures. These stories have exquisite composition, vivid image, distinct color, prominent theme and strong religious color. Based on the Buddhist scriptures, the author makes a thorough study of the Buddhist stories in Dunhuang murals. We think that the legendary life of Sakyamuni, from birth, monk, enlightenment, and teaching, until Nirvana's death, has always been saturated with the compassion and compassion of Buddhism. Compassion is the basic spirit of Buddhism and equality is the basic doc. trine of Buddhism. Both of them run through the entire ideological system of Buddhism and play an impor. tant role in the process of historical development, which is also instructive for us to interpret the ideologi. cal content of Dunhuang murals.
