Abstract:

The interpretation of early Buddha images with a crown has long been a source of debate. Many scholars have concluded that the iconography of the crown is intended to denote Śākyamuni as a cakravartin or universal Buddha. A few have suggested it represents a sambhogakāya Buddha in Mahāyāna Buddhism. This art historical and Buddhological study examines the visual record of early crowned Buddhas along the Silk Road, focusing on the iconographic signifiers of the crown, silk items, and ornaments, and interprets them within a broader framework of Buddhist theoretical principals and practice.

Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the ritual of a peculiar scripture entitled Chinshō yasha-hō 鎮將夜叉法 (Ch. Zhenjiang yecha fa. “Tantric Ritual of Chinshō Yakṣa”). The Japanese deity Chinshō Yakṣa is a Tendai variation of Vaiśravaṇa (Ch. Pishamen/Jp. Bishamon 毘沙門), a heavenly king who vowed to protect Buddhism. The ritual of Chinshō Yakṣa is a major ritual in Tendai Esotericism. It has been traditionally accepted that this scripture was transmitted from China. Modern scholarship, however, suspects that this ritual is Saichō’s 最澄 (767–822) invention. This study examines the contents and characters i

The Mudra signs in dance occur in families or classes, which often cut across the basic dichotomy between combined-hand and separate-hand gestures, and which reflect linguistic and sociolinguistic classes of words and signs, such as question expressions and hierarchically differentiated pronouns, used in the domain of lang

The art and iconography of the sculptures from the Pala period (8th to 12th centuries CE) in India represent a significant phase in the evolution of Buddhist and Hindu art. The Pala dynasty, which ruled over parts of present-day India and Bangladesh, was a patron of both Buddhist and Brahmanical traditions, and their art reflects a fusion of influences. This paper attempts to explore the key features and themes of sculptures from the Pala period with special reference to Buddhist minor deities.

Abstract:

内容提要梵语“阿剎罗”（akṣara）一词在印度古代文化背景中具有哲学、语言学两个方面的意义。从哲学层面言之，akṣara 一词具有不灭、不朽之义，因而用来指称常住不灭的终极存在；就语言学层面而言，其义项为不可分析、不可拆分之义，通常指音节、字母，即梵语言文字最根本的拼读、书写单位。在汉译佛典中，“阿剎罗”通常被译作声字、字、字本、字母，以陀罗尼、真言、明、咒、秘密语等形式，在以《般若经》为代表的大乘佛教经典中有广泛应用。《般若经》是出现最早的大乘佛典，是大乘佛教成立的标志；自公元前后起般若类经典一直在不断地增广，到十三世纪前后仍有相应的新经典产生，堪为大乘佛教发展演变的活化石。在早期般若经典中，声字是以陀罗尼的形式出现的。其中最根本、最典型的陀罗尼，即是被称为陀罗尼门的四十二字门。从其语言学属性来看，四十二字是犍陀罗语的根本字母或字母表，这种字母最初是用佉卢文来书写的；从义理层面来看，四十二字门诠表的法义是初期大乘佛教义的浓缩与集粹。六、七世纪以后，随着秘密佛教的兴起，梵语声字在新出现的般若类经典中应用的更为普遍，其形态也更为多样，其功能也越来越丰富。在初期的密教经典《金刚大道场经》中，编纂者将此期依据般若类经典发展出的印咒法门都为一集。伴随着佛教秘密化倾向的加剧，七、八世纪出现了依般若经成立的秘密经法，如理趣经法、仁王经法等。在理趣经法中，梵语声
