摘要
炳灵寺大寺沟东环路南端新发现数个大小、深浅不一且残损严重的窟龛,均为利用天然岩洞经人工处理后使用的早期佛教活动场所。经现场调查研究,初步判断可能为西秦或者更早时期的佛教遗迹,性质有僧房窟、禅窟、讲堂窟、瘗穴、造像礼拜龛五类。这批窟龛的发现,为进一步研究炳灵寺石窟早期的佛教活动及其范围、发展特点等,提供了弥足珍贵的踪迹线索。
At the southern end of Donghuan Road at Dazigou in Binglingsi, several severely damaged naturally formed caves of different sizes have been found recently that were altered over the centuries for use in religious activities. An in-situ investigation preliminarily demonstrates that these caves were renovated for religious use in the Western Qin period or earlier. The caves can be classified into five types based on function: living quarters, meditation caves, caves for sermons, burial sites, and caves containing Buddhist images used for purposes of worship. The discovery of these caves provides valuable clues for further study of early Buddhist activities and for the scope and development of religious practice in Binglingsi at that time.
