Abstract本文介紹並英譯《救護身命經》,此經可能是成立於第六世紀的中國,宣稱描述佛陀的言說。本文探討此經在中國歷代經錄中的紀錄,並藉由其他大約同時代成立的經典來分析此經的宗旨。特別討論所說的「五濁惡世」、「蠱道」、與「六神」的概念,以及所提到要用「好紙」來抄經一事。此經顯示中國的作家如何利用當時本地已有的方法、宇宙觀、修行論與物資,來回應生活在佛滅後所會遭遇到的威脅。本文含註解的譯文是以日本七寺的寫本為底本,並參照敦煌與《房山石經》的寫本。

This article introduces and translates the Scripture on Saving and Protecting Body and Life (Jiuhu shenming jing 救護身命經), a text likely composed in sixth-century China that claims to represent the words of the Buddha. The article traces the treatment of this text in Chinese catalogues, and analyzes its themes with regard to other works composed roughly contemporaneously. Particular attention is paid to notions of the “Evil Age of the Five Pollutions” (wuzhuo eshi 五濁惡世), “venomous arts” (gu dao 蠱道), “six spirits” (liu shen 六神), and to a reference to copying the text on “fine paper” (hao zhi 好紙). It shows how Chinese authors drew on indigenous techniques, cosmologies, practices, and materials to respond to threats said to face those living in an age after the Buddha’s passing. The annotated translation is based on a manuscript from Nanatsu-dera, but it refers to the Dunhuang and Fangshan shi jing editions as well.
