Ti-tsang-pu-sa-pen-yuan-ching（《地藏菩薩本願經》）, Chan-cha-shan-e-yeh-pao ching（《占察善惡業報經》）, along with Ta-cheng-ta-chi-Ti-tsang-shih-lun-ching（《大乘大集地藏十輪經》）are considered as “Three Sutras of Kstigarbha” in China’s Kstigarbha belief system. Among them, Ti-tsang-pu-sa-pen-yuan-ching is well-known in Chinese folk religion. Despite its popularity and importance, a further research has not ever discussed because of possibly apocryphal problems. This thesis will focus on Ti-tsang-pu-sa-pen-yuan-ching, and analyse such questions of authors or translators, circulation, as well as some false texts, by which, firstly, to outline a basic picture of faith in Kstigarbha. Secondly, paying attention to the concept of “hell”, “causes of beings by the sentient”, Alaya-vijnana（阿賴耶識）of Wei-shih（唯識）, and Chong-tzu-hsun-his-yi（種子薰習義）, as the book writes “hell affected by karma” can determine where the sentient to go, similarly, evil the sentient commit, affecting what hell they may see, what karma they may receive, according to Alaya-Vijnana of Wei-shih. Thirdly, through “the aspect of purity and discoloration” to compare with Sutra of Hua-yen（華嚴）, as Ou-yi Chih-hsu（蕅益智旭，1599─1655）said, “hell” and “karma” is immensely related with “the aspect of purity and discoloration”, corresponding to what Hua-yen sect called the theory of San-hsiang-yi-tung（三性異同）. Fourthly, dealing with “The merits of invoke Buddha” and “The way of worship” in “The Ninth Article of Chant Buddh”（〈稱佛名號品第九〉）, to discover the similarities and differences of “Pure Land School” between “Chant Buddh”. Besides of generally acknowledged ideas of Confucian doctrine of filial piety, Ti-tsang-pu-sa-pen-yuan-ching contains some thoughts of Wei-shih school and Hua-yen school which make this book more complicated, and also confirm the concept of “arising from conditional causation” and “hell”. In this book, not only provides interest way of the dead, but also gives the survivors certain rules over worship and merits, in order to free oneself from difficulties.
