摘　　要：隋代第280窟建于隋代晚期,本文对该窟比丘诵经图、菩萨乘象图、涅槃图进行了考察,提出比丘诵经图可能表示《法华经》中的妙光法师说法,菩萨乘象图则表示普贤菩萨守护《法华经》信仰者,而涅槃图则表示《法华经》为佛临涅槃时所说。这些壁画题材是研究法华信仰的重要资料。Mogao Cave 280 was built in the late Sui dynasty. An examination of the images of a bodhisattva tiding an elephant, a bhiksu chanting scriptures, and a nirvana depiction scene in cave 280 suggests that the bodhisattva in the first picture represents Samantabhadra Bodhisattva as the protector of people who believe in the Lotus Sutra, the bhikkhu represents Buddhist master Varaprabha preaching the Lotus Sutra, and the nirvana image indicates that the Lotus Sutra was preached by Buddha just before attaining nirvana. These mural themes are very important for studying Buddhist belief in the Lotus sutra,
