【亚洲·韩国】灵山斋 Yeongsanjae（2009年）

作为韩国佛教文化的一个核心元素，Yeongsanjae是佛陀在印度秃鹫峰上传递莲花经的再现，通过它，佛教的哲学和精神信息得以表达，参与者发展自律。Yeongsanjae首先是为所有圣人和天地之灵举行的仪式招待会，最后是代表佛陀超凡境界礼仪的告别仪式，包括唱歌、仪式装饰和各种仪式舞蹈，如钹舞、鼓舞和礼袍舞。其他组成部分包括仪式清洗、茶道、为佛陀和菩萨奉献米饭、邀请观众到真理之门的布道，以及为死者庆祝他们进入天堂的仪式餐。Yeongsanjae主要由位于首尔的韩国佛教Taego教团保存，在韩国各地的寺庙中举行，通过崇拜和仰慕佛陀及其法律和僧侣，帮助所有人进入真理世界。仪式是传递价值观和艺术形式以及冥想、训练和启蒙的重要空间。

A central element of Korean Buddhist culture, Yeongsanjae is a re-enactment of Buddha’s delivery of the Lotus Sutra on the Vulture Peak in India, through which philosophical and spiritual messages of Buddhism are expressed and people in attendance develop self-discipline. Yeongsanjae begins with a ritual reception for all the saints and spirits of heaven and earth and concludes with a farewell ritual representing manners of the otherworldly realm of Buddha, with singing, ceremonial adornment and varied ritual dances such as the cymbal dance, drum dance and ceremonial robe dance. The other components include a ritual cleansing, a tea ceremony, the dedication of a rice meal to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, a sermon inviting the audience to the door of truth and a ritual meal for the dead to congratulate them on their entry into heaven. Preserved chiefly by the Taego Order of Korean Buddhism based in Seoul, the Yeongsanjae is held in temples throughout the Republic of Korea to help all beings enter the world of truth by worshipping and admiring the Buddha and his laws and monks. The ceremony serves as an important space for transmission of values and art forms and for meditation, training and enlightenment.
