摘要

西秦是「十六國時代」由鮮卑乞伏氏在中國西北建立的一個弱小政權。但由於其據「絲綢之路」要衝，境內佛教之盛卻遠遠超過了當時的其它政權。最為重要的是，其佛教石窟（即今甘肅永靖炳靈寺石窟）還保存至今。本文用文獻資料和考古材料結合的方法，從西秦聖堅的譯經、炳靈寺石窟與西秦佛教、西秦的禪學三個方面，述論了西秦佛教的基本情況，並提出了一些引人注意的問題，是迄今為止最為詳盡的一篇探討西秦佛教的論文。

The Western Qin was a small state established by Xianbei Qifu（鮮卑乞伏）in northen China in the ＂era of the 16 states.＂ Due to its location on one the arteries of the Silk Road, the Western Qin state saw a flourish of Buddhism far beyond her contemporary states did. Most significantly, a major Buddhist cave from this era─the Bingling monastery cave in today's Yongjing, Kansu Province, has been preserved to this day. Based on historical documents and archeological evidence, this thesis provides an analysis of, raises some worth-noting questions on, the development of Western Qin Buddhism from three aspects: Shengjian's sutra translations, Bingling monastery cave, and Zen Buddhism in the Western Qin. It is the most thorough exploration of Western Qin Buddhism to date.
