Re-study on the Records of Dong Zhenying’s Merits from Turfan-Also Discussion the Spread of the Tiantai School in Turfan

《唐乾封二年(667)西州高昌县董真英随葬功德疏》是吐鲁番出土的一件宗教性随葬文书,记述了董真英逝世的日期、身份、佛教信仰以及其患病期间所做的种种功德。整件文书分为朱书与墨书两部分,朱书部分体现了东汉时期盛行的“生死异路”观,其性质近似于镇墓文,起到镇墓及保佑生者的作用,墨书部分则罗列了董真英患病期间所做的功德。其中《法华经》等四部天台宗核心经典被连续记载在功德疏上,形成了一个带有天台宗教义思想的佛经体系,反映了天台宗教义思想在西州僧侣间的传播。

The Records of Dong Zhenying’s Merits is a religious funerary document from Turfan,which re⁃corded Dong Zhenying's death date,identity,Buddhist beliefs,and various meritorious deeds performed during her illness.The entire document was divided into red and black parts.The red part reflected the prevailing view of"shengsiyilu"(生死异路)during the later Han dynasty,which was similar to zhenmu⁃wen(镇墓文)and played a role in tomb guarding and protecting the living.The black part listed the merits of Dong Zhenying during her illness.The four core classics of the Tiantai School,including the Lotus Sutra,were continuously recorded in the document,which formed a Buddhist sutra system with the Tiantai School’s religious teachings and thoughts,which reflected the spread of the Tiantai School’s doctrines among monks in Xizhou(西州).
