Next Wednesday talk: Hear the Sound of Dharma from Dunhuang
下星期三講座：諦聽敦煌法音
The Caves of Dunhuang, a spiritual and cultural crossroads on the ancient Silk Road, resonate with the timeless teachings of Buddhist scripture, art, and meditation. This talk explores how the sacred texts, murals, and manuscripts preserved in Dunhuang’s Mogao Grottoes transmit the Dharma—not merely as written doctrine, but as a living voice of enlightenment. By examining the interplay of sound, scripture, and visual narrative in Dunhuang’s artifacts, we uncover how Buddhist teachings were heard, internalized, and perpetuated across centuries. Drawing from sutras, chant traditions, and the devotional practices embedded in Dunhuang’s heritage, this presentation invites listeners to hear the enduring call of wisdom that still echoes from these Buddhist caves in desert — a call that bridges past and present, the earthly and the transcendent.

敦煌，這座絲路上的精神聖地，以其石窟、文書與壁畫，保存了千年佛法的深邃迴響。本次講座將以敦煌莫高窟的佛教文獻、圖像與修行傳統為核心，探討「法音」如何超越文字，成為融合聲音、圖像與禪觀的活體智慧。透過分析敦煌寫本中的誦經儀軌、經變畫中的“觀想”體系，以及洞窟空間中的聲學設計，我們將揭示佛教“聞思修”傳統在敦煌藝術中的獨特呈現——佛法不僅被“看見”，更被“諦聽”，在僧侶與信徒的虔誠實踐中化為覺之徑。
