现知《刘师礼文》最早见于敦煌遗书的南北朝写卷，据传是东晋僧人刘萨诃所倡导的一种礼拜法。本文收集了敦煌遗书乃至现代流传本《刘师礼文》及其后代变种16种，梳理其异本，探讨其演化，认为由《刘师礼文》体现的与时俱进并演变为种种形态的特征、将自己装饰为民众喜闻乐见形式的特征、以及它所具有的多种文化混杂的特征，可以成为我们研究仪轨佛教演化的观察点。

The oldest version of extant Master Liu’s Essay on Rites (Liushi Liwen) as a Dunhuang manuscript from the Northern and Southern Dynasties is reputedly a ritual text of worship advocated by venerable Master LIU Sa-he in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. By examining the text variation and historical transformation of extant Master Liu’s Essays on Rites, including the Dunhuang manuscript and 16 versions compiled in later periods, this paper finds that Master Liu’s Essays on Rites has been changing itself with the times, catering to the people and mixing various elements of many cultures, which may provide a good perspective for us to study the evolvement of ritual Buddhism.
