寶篋印陀羅尼經卷首圖

浙江省杭州市雷峰塔頂藏經磚發現

一九二四年浙江省杭州市雷峰塔頂藏經磚發現。此經全名《一切如來心祕密全身舍利寶篋印陀羅尼經》,為北宋開寶八年(975)刊刻,楷書,每行約十字,計二百七十一行。卷首圖前有題記「天下兵馬大元帥吳越國王錢俶/造此經八万四千卷捨入西關/塼塔永充供養乙亥(975)歲八月日紀」。
 卷首圖上方為弧形帷幕,下有一寶塔。圖右側有一佛二弟子皆帶圓形頭光,前設香案,旁有一人跪坐合掌。圖左側為一宅舍,下方表現佛陀與一弟子正向一塔狀土堆合掌禮敬。畫面簡略呈現佛陀受婆羅門無垢妙光之請,前往其宅舍應供,於途中見一古朽塔,摧壞崩倒,蔓草封戶,瓦礫埋隱,狀若土堆,卻放大光明,而說此經之因緣。
 經文載:「此大全身舍利積聚如來寶塔,一切如來無量俱胝心陀羅尼密印法要,今在其中。……是塔所在之處,有大神驗殊勝威德,能滿一切世間吉慶。」復言:「若有眾生,書寫此經置塔中者,是塔即為『一切如來金剛藏窣都婆』,亦為『一切如來陀羅尼心祕密加持窣都婆』,即為『九十九百千萬俱胝如來窣都婆』,亦為『一切如來佛頂佛眼窣都婆』,即為一切如來神力所護。」據經文所述,可知吳越國王造塔藏經卷於塔磚之緣由。
 此經卷為葉恭綽舊藏,卷軸裝,前隔水題簽「寶篋印經」,經卷首尾鈐有「玉父造像記」、「恭綽」印,拖尾跋文「番禺葉氏小淨樂菴供養法寶之一」等皆為葉恭綽的收藏記錄,引首設色雷峰塔圖由黃起鳳繪製,經合裱裝褙而成。
