鷲峰禪窟是我國現存唯一的以《壇經》為主要內容的南宋禪宗石窟。其造像題材內容與佛教其他石窟迥然不同。本文據禪宗經典與造像對照，參考有關文獻資料，按禪窟三大部分造像的內涵和功能，以及每部分特定的主題內容與其他部分彼此的連繫，構成禪窟整體等問題提出所疑，擇要概述：一、前言；二、概況；三、題材內容與佈局；四、石窟造像問題綜合探討；五、後語，存疑求證。 The Jiufeng Chan grottoes of the Hechuan district, Laitan village, Chongqing are the only extant example in China of a Chan school cave from the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279), with imagery based primarily on the Platform Sūtra. The textual material upon which the cave imagery is based differs greatly from that of other Buddhist caves. The present article undertakes a comparison between those textual source materials and the actual cave imagery, found in three main areas of the cave. It also refers to relevant materials. The article is composed of the following sections: 1. Preface; 2. Background; 3. Textual source materials; 4. Discussion of cave imagery; 5. Conclusion and issues requiring future research.
