Buddhist scripture linguistics is a discipline that explores linguistic phenomena in Buddhist scriptures. That is, it uses linguistic knowledge to understand Buddhist scriptures and effectively deal with the linguistic problems within them. It includes the phonology, vocabulary, grammar, exegesis, and writing of Buddhist scriptures. Applying this knowledge to Buddhist scriptures is what constitutes "Buddhist scripture linguistics." In this book, the author begins with the nature of Buddhist scripture linguistics, then introduces research methods and the philology of Buddhist scriptures, and further moves into the core of Buddhist scripture linguistics-how to use knowledge from phonology, lexicology, grammar, and writing studies to explore the mysteries of Buddhist scriptures. It also gives special, concentrated attention to the Xuanying Yinyi and the Huilin Yinyi, discussing the study of pronunciation and meaning in Buddhist scriptures. Finally, it discusses the history of Buddhist scripture language research and the revival of Buddhist scripture studies by modern scholars, enabling readers to gain an all-around understanding of Buddhist scripture language through this book. In the Chinese-language field, combining the professional study of phonology and writing with the profound meaning of Buddhist scriptures has always been a difficult scholarly undertaking. Therefore, the author's series of "journey" works is precisely an attempt to unveil the face of Buddhist scripture language in an accessible way, so that every reader interested in reading Buddhist scriptures can achieve sudden clarity and understanding, and so that scholars interested in Chinese linguistics may also find some reference here. 佛經語言學是一門探索佛經語言現象的學科。也就是運用語言學的知識，來讀懂佛經，並有效處理其中的語言問題。包括了佛經的聲韻、佛經的詞彙、佛經的語法、佛經的訓詁、佛經的文字。把這些知識運用在佛經上，就是「佛經語言學」。 在本書中，作者從佛經語言學的性質談起，接著介紹研究方法、佛經文獻學，進而導入佛經語言學的核心一-如何運用聲韻學、詞彙學、語法學、文字學的知識探索佛經的奧秘。並特別集中介紹了《玄應音義》和《慧琳音義》，談佛經的音義之學，最後論述了佛經語言研究的歷史與現代學者對佛經研究的復興，讓讀者們能夠透過本書全方位的瞭解佛經語言。 中文領域，聲韻、文字之學的專業與佛經的奧義相相結合，本是不容易處理的一門學問。因此本書作者一系列的「之旅」著作，正是嘗試以深入淺出的方式，揭開佛經語言的面紗，讓每一位有興趣閱讀佛經的讀者都能因之豁然而解，也為對漢語語言學有興趣的學者提供一些參考。
