二、内容提要:

In Chinese Buddhist art Samantabhadra forms a sacred Trinity along with Ma?ju?rī and Vairocana. This Trinity was inspired by the Huayan jing and has been a popular object of worship until present time. Samantabhadra is depicted as riding on a six tusked elephant and many examples of this image can be found in Dunhuang from the Tang period. Several chapters of the Huayan jing are closely associated with Samantabhadra bodhisattva, but the most important text is the ?rya-samantabhadra-caryā-pra?idhāna-rāja 普贤菩萨行愿赞 (Bhadracarī), one of the most famous devotional text in Mahāyāna Buddhism that is attached to the end of the 40 fascicle Huayan jing translated by Praj?ā. However, the visual appearance of Samantabhadra depicted in some sources is more elaborate and complex. One of the six apocryphal visualisation sutras, the Samantabhadra visualisation sutra佛说观普贤菩萨行法经 includes this complex image that could originate from Central Asian meditation practice. In addition this sutra sheds light on the repentance ritual associated with Samantabhadra that probably was widespread in Southern China. This lecture attempts to give a comprehensive understanding of the depiction of Samantabhadra bodhisattva in Chinese Buddhist art and its role in Buddhist religious practice.
