詮釋、圖像——星雲大師「觀世音菩薩普門品」之考察

Exploring Venerable Master Hsing Yun's“Guanshiyin Bodhisattva＂ Via Interpretation and Image

以星雲大師「觀世音菩薩普門品」之著作，及「佛光山‧大悲殿」進行考察，其中故事性較強的「應化事蹟」，如「救七難、除三毒及滿二求」作為論述的對象，藉以了解星雲大師如何透過不同的敘事方式向大眾解說、弘揚「觀世音菩薩普門品」，落實人間佛教的理念。大師以平易近人語言、文字，由深入淺的方式詮釋觀世音菩薩的種種。觀世音菩薩是大師的啟蒙老師、生活導師；大師則是觀世音菩薩的最佳代言人。此外，在敦煌壁畫、敦煌寫卷、大悲殿外牆圖像及善書之中，同樣有以〈觀世音菩薩普門品〉為基礎，透過圖像向大眾展現觀世音菩薩救苦救世的「應化事蹟」，其中大悲殿外牆及善書，還以「事證」作為說明。大師採用許多不同的詮釋方式，讓大眾認識觀音世菩薩，更希望大眾能藉此學習觀世音菩薩的慈悲力、智慧力、勇猛力及管理力。
