法华三部经

法华三部经，为汉传佛教中，对《无量义经》、《妙法莲华经》、《观普贤菩萨行法经》三部佛教经典的合称。

概论

汉传佛教认为，法华宗的开经为《无量义经》，主要部分为《妙法莲华经》，结尾为《观普贤菩萨行法经》。将此三部经合为一部，称为法华经十卷本，又称法华三经。^[1]

《无量义经》系南齐昙摩伽陀耶舍译。此经主旨，在阐述实相之法。因法华经序品所言之“为诸菩萨说大乘经，名无量义，教菩萨法”，古大德如智𫖮、慧基等以此经为法华经的开经。其次《妙法莲华经》是三者中的主经，流布最广的是鸠摩罗什译本。《观普贤菩萨行法经》则为刘宋昙摩蜜多译。本经承续《法华经》终章《普贤菩萨劝发品》，阐述观普贤菩萨的法门、功德，被认为是《法华经》的结经^[2]。
