Xu shows that the Lianghuang chan 梁皇懺 T1909 is related to the "Repentance Method for Eating Meat" 懺悔食肉法 in the Liangwudi duan jiurou wen 梁武帝斷酒肉文, and is similar to the style of the Jingzhuzi 淨住子and other repentance liturgies of the Southern Dynasties. The emphasis on the "immortality of shenming" 神明不滅 in the Lianghuang chan is consistent other known aspects of Liang Wudi's Buddhist thought. It is therefore likely that the Lianghuang chan was produced by Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty (464–549). |
