Treasures of Khotan – Abstracts

Return to main conference page.   1 Jinhua Chen, UBC 陳金華，加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學 于闐質子智儼/嚴生平再考 A Monk with Many Masks: Recovered Roles of a Khotanese Hostage Prince in Tang China 印度在唐僑僧善無畏（637–735）歿後，所傳《大日經》疏解由其兩位弟子——一行（683–727）與智儼（活躍於700-720年代）——整理成兩個版本，一為二十卷本的《大日經疏》、另一為十四卷本的《大日經義釋》。一行聲名顯赫，彪炳史冊，而智儼則相對無聞。本文認為，作為善無畏弟子的智儼或即贊寧（919–1001）《宋高僧傳》所記載的同名僧人：智儼、俗名欝持樂（即尉遲樂）。欝持樂原為于闐國王在唐質子、後奉旨出家、成為當時的一位重要譯僧。雖然不太可能是歷史上赫赫有名的于闐國在唐畫師尉遲乙僧，此智嚴/儼或即大敬愛寺同名僧：他既是一位註釋《楞伽經》的學問僧，又是一名禪師，出自北宗禪師龐塢元珪（644-716）的門下。通過重構這一複雜歷史人物撲簌迷離一生的幾個面相，本文力求展示大唐佛教世界主義（Cosmopolitan）的特質。 After the passing of the Indian monk Shanwuwei 善無畏 (Śubhakarasiṃha [637–735]), his lecture notes on the Mahāvairocana sūtra were compiled by two Continue reading
