| Abstract | 法界聖凡水陸普度大齋勝會是中國佛教中，儀式最隆重的度亡超薦法會之一，作用主要是超度亡靈，而修建一場水陸法會所須的財力、物力極多並需要在七晝夜之間完成。中國的水陸法會出現的年代上限為唐成亨中期(670-673);到宋代因為楊銬、宗蹟、志聲等人紛紛制定水陸儀文，故水陸法會於宋代大盛，及後亦因有明代的雲棲株宏及清代的儀潤法師增補儀文，故水陸法會一直被施演至今。通過水陸法會的研究，我們可以暸解佛教如何在本土廣為流傳，以及義學佛教與民俗佛教如何整合、再創，而成符合大眾需求的普度法門。這個可以將其出現的年代確實地追溯至北宋初年的中國佛教儀式，到了現在依然盛行於中國大陸、台灣、香港及新加坡等地，並依然扮演著一個十分重要的角色，因為現在的水陸法會除了是一極為大型的普度儀式之外，更是一個保存中國佛教藝術、音樂、文化的寶塔，甚至是寺院的一個重要收入來源。所以，研究水陸除了可以對一個重要的中國佛教儀式有更具體的了解之外，更可以對於中國佛教與中國文化、中國佛教與中國社會，乃至寺院與居士的互動有進一步的了解。最重要的是水陸法會的研究實際地將中國佛教放在一個中國社會文化的環境進行理解，掌握中國的基層佛教徒如何實踐他們的信仰於生活之中。
Shuilu Fahui is a Buddhist rite for universal salvation which includes complex layers of ritual activities that use elements of all schools of Chinese Buddhism, such as mantras of Tantric Buddhism, the penances ritual of the school of Tian Tai (天台宗) and Amita-buddha's name chanting of the school of Pure Land (淨土宗).It could be dated as far back as the Tang Dynasty (around 670-673 C.E.) and was one ofthe most spectacular, and popular rituals in Chinese Buddhism. Shuilu Fahui is still performed in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore and continues to be very popular. The core spirit of this rite is universal salvation (pudu，普度)which is aimed to save the suffered sentient beings escape from wheel of rebirth (samsara，輪迴). This aim also is a core spirit of Chinese religions and it realized the religious demands of Chinese people. Moreover, Shuilu Fahui aimed to save the suffered sentient beings, especially the hungry ghosts. The Shuilu Fahui itself and this aim was an outstanding product of the interaction between Buddhism and Chinese culture. The most important point is that ritual is a large part of the practice of a faith rather than a belief. It is a mixture of faith, custom, tradition，art and culture. Furthermore, to examine the Shuilu fahui is the key to understand the practiced Chinese Buddhism in the monastic system and in the lay Buddhist level from Tang Dynasty to present day in Chinese areas, such as Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. This rite constructed an extreme system, tight religious world. It also contains the large and profound religious meanings. |
