法华三部经,为漢傳佛教中,對《无量义经》、《妙法莲华经》、《观普贤菩萨行法经》三部佛教经典的合称。

概論

编辑

漢傳佛教認為,法華宗的開經為《無量義經》,主要部份為《妙法蓮華經》,結尾為《觀普賢菩薩行法經》。將此三部經合為一部,稱為法華經十卷本,又稱法華三經[1]

《无量义经》系南齐昙摩伽陀耶舍译。此经主旨,在阐述实相之法。因法华经序品所言之“為諸菩薩大乘經,名無量義,教菩薩法”,古大德如智顗慧基等以此经为法华经的开经。其次《妙法莲华经》是三者中的主经,流布最广的是鸠摩罗什译本。《观普贤菩萨行法经》则为刘宋曇摩蜜多译。本经承续《法华经》终章《普贤菩萨劝发品》,阐述观普贤菩萨的法门、功德,被认为是《法华经》的结经[2]
