北魏洛陽を中心とした捨宅為寺に関する考察

Abstract

During the period of 493-534AD, the Buddhist architecture of temples changed with the practice of donating personal homes to become temples. Though the owners were motivated to do this under different reasons, the distinctive point, architecturally, is that the newly donated homes were left unchanged and became the accepted Buddhist Architecture. No architectural changes were to the buildings. In studying the practices, before this time-Northern Wei it is found that when a home was donated, they built new using Buddhist Architecture.
