霞浦文書《摩尼光佛》科冊重訂本

The New Re-edited Version of Xiapu Manuscript Mani the Buddha of Light

摘要


霞浦文書《摩尼光佛》主要模仿佛教的禮懺儀式,加上十多段成行成塊的音譯文字,構成了長達82頁的摩尼教禮懺(讚願)文集。因此本文借鏡了佛教禮懺的儀式結構,重新將不成系統的儀節標目、雜亂紛陳的儀文內容,分為十個場次(上篇依殘存的標目分為五時;下篇依其結構分為五回),藉以窥探法會儀式的整體結構。同時利用聯章曲調的復沓形式,透過句式、押韻、對仗的詳細比勘,以及摩尼教教義的理校,和音譯文字的還原(特別是找到對應的中古伊朗語文書),方能訂正一些前後錯置,剔除若干訛誤,直探其中摩尼教的內容。因此,此次《摩尼光佛》之重新修訂,是在《摩尼光佛》圖版刊佈之後,力求兼顧音譯文字的校釋和禮懺儀文的復原。

並列摘要


The manuscript titled Moni Guangfo (Mani the Buddha of Light) discovered in Xiapu, Fujian, is undoubtedly the most important recovered ritual manual of the Religion of Light (Mingjiao明教, i.e., Chinese Manichaeism). The extant version of Mani the Buddha of Light comprises 82 pages and should be considered as an early Xiapu document produced under the strong influence of Manichaean documents of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Although its format is similar to Buddhist worship and repentance rituals, the text themselves are predominantly Manichaean in content. This is a ritual manual for a congregational cult and the basic goal of the collective worship is cooperative advancement expressed through piety and ritual. Such congregational cults followed the established practices of group worship in Central Asian Manichaeism. Most Buddhist worship and repentance rituals comprised the 12 stages. Mani the Buddha of Light comprised 8 stages: 1, qingfo請佛inviting Buddha(s); 2, zanfo讚佛praising Buddha(s); 3, lifo禮佛worshipping Buddha(s); 4, wuhui五悔, the five kinds of repentance; 5, san guiyi三皈依, venerating the Triratna; 6, shuoji fayuan說偈發願, explaining in verse and making a vow to save all beings; 7, fanzhou梵咒, mantras; and 8, (zhong)he (眾)和, (the Hearers) joining in the singing or chanting. Congregational cults continued and ritual manuals of the Religion of Light were handed down generation after generation until the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), so today we are fortunate to have the opportunity to study a copy of one of these collections of ancient ritual manuals of the Religion of Light-Mani the Buddha of Light.
