The focal point of this study is a Southern Song (1127-1279) religious movement initiated by a charismatic Buddhist Zhao Zhifeng 趙智鳳 (b. 1160) in Puzhou 普州 (present-day Anyue 安岳, Sichuan) and Changzhou 昌州 (present-day Dazu ⼤⾜, Chongqing). At the center of this movement was the cult of Liu Benzun 柳本尊 (d. 907), the Sichuanese layman whose religious persona was shaped principally by the somatic mutilation he inflicted upon himself. In perpetuating Liu as their prime focus of devotion, members of this movement had at least fifteen cult sites featuring monumental cliff carvings established in Puzhou and Changzhou. Given these monuments' enormous scale as well as their detailed artistic expressions, one will rightly want to ask: what exactly were the religious motives behind the establishment of these monuments? How was the cult of Liu able to find its way into the Southern Song society in Puzhou and Changzhou? How did its flourishing in the local milieu challenge or enrich the pre-existing cultural and social structures? And what does this specific instance of local devotional movement tell us about Chinese Buddhism in general?Driven by these wide-ranging questions, the present study will try to understand Liuists and their devotional movement by exploring the monuments commissioned by them. We will first attempt to clarify Liu's sacred status in Chapter 1 and then the self-image and identity amongst his Southern Song followers in Chapters 2 and 3. In Chapter 4, particular attention will be paid to the patterns of Liuist patronage, and filial piety-the summum bonum of all virtues-will constitute the leitmotif of the following two chapters. In this process, I will suggest that Liuists had made much effort to construct themselves as a group of "Mahayanists." And the movement, which was not so much focused on any specific sectarian teachings or praxis, is a rare window through which we can come to understand the vitality of Song Buddhism.

520 $a 本⽂所聚焦的對象乃是⼀場由南宋蜀⼈趙智鳳（b. 1160）所掀起的地⽅宗教運動。這場運動的核⼼乃是在唐末五代以⾃殘⽽聞名成都的佛教⾏者柳本尊（d. 907）。出於對柳⽒⾏持的敬重，趙智鳳及其徒眾在普州（今四川安岳）、昌州（今重慶⼤⾜）兩地興建了諸多⽯刻道場。這些道場的規模之⼤、營造之精不禁讓⼈疑情頓起：它們因何⽽造，又為何所鐫？由之牽連產⽣的社會影響又究竟幾何？柳⽒作為⼀名燃頂灼臂者的宗教形象對趙⽒⽽⾔究竟意味著什麼？⽽藉由關注這⼀⾼度地⽅化的宗教運動，今⼈又能否得以⾒微知著呢？帶著這些疑問，筆者嘗試對柳教及其物質⽂化作出⼀番系統的檢討。在這⼀過程中，柳教的⾝分認同與⼤乘情懷都得到了具體的呈現。他們對藏經及"菩薩戒"的強調都反映了⼀種欣求正真的宗教追求，⽽"孝養"這⼀在中國根深蒂固的道德觀念也在他們的宗教⽣活中佔有著重要的席位。這⼀地⽅化的⼤乘運動並不沾染有明顯的宗⾨教下的⾊彩，⽽由它蔚為可觀的宗教道場則從⼀個側⾯有⼒地反映了宋代佛教的整體活⼒。.
