《觀音十二圓覺》的菩薩化身與度化對象探究

《觀音十二圓覺》是清代以「觀世音菩薩度化民眾事蹟」為主體的寶卷。此本的制作緣於「以佛勸世」的民間教派（青蓮教），雜有儒、道，乃至於先天思想，其中菩薩諸多化身（如貧婆、美女、草寇、童子、比丘），以及眾多度化對象（如富翁、官人、匪徒、富家妻妾與子女）等「人物形象」的特質與行事意義，既有來自《普門品》菩薩各種化身救度眾生的概念，又能吸納許多民間文藝與文化的表現內涵，使義理包容於俗情，顯現宗教曲藝向大眾傳播的特色。因此，本文即以傅斯年圖書館藏本為底本，探討其展現菩薩化身與度化者形象的表現特色與意義。特別是透過這種詩讚體歌辭與散體說解相互搭配的形式，在情節推展與人物形象意義的表現上，所能產生的效果與作用。
