This thesis aims to make clear some characteristics of the Dun-huang grottoes under the Sui Dynasty from the viewpoints of the thought of religion and of Iconology of the murals in the grottoes. There are four hundred and ninety two grottoes in all in the Dun-huang Mo-gao-ku and all those grottoes were made from the fourth century to the eleventh century. The number of the Dun-huang grottoes which were made during thirty seven years under the Sui Dynasty (581-618 A.D.) is just one hundred. Such great number of grottoes can not be found before and after the Sui Dynasty. The reason is that the Emperor of Sui, Yan-jian and his son. Yang-guang carried out a policy for believing in Buddhism and admired the great teacher, Tien tai Zhi-yi very deeply. The great teacher, Tien tai made it clear that the Lotus Sutra is the best sutra among the Buddhist Sutras and insisted on his own system of Buddhism. As a result of this influence, some characteristics on the Lotus Sutra, that is, the following three points can be found in the Dun-huang grottoes. 1. The signatures by some artists under the Sui Dynasty can be found in two grottoes, No. 303 and 305. Those artists are connected with the chapter 1 of the Lotus Sutra. 2. The iconographies of the Treasure Tower, Maitreya and Thousand Buddhas (Fig. 3) can be seen in the many grottoes under the Sui Dynasty. Those iconographies have some relations with the chapter 11 and 28 of the Lotus Sutra. 3. A pair of pictures of Renunciation (Fig. 7, 9) and a Bodhisattva riding on a white elephant (Fig. 8, 10) are described in the grottoes No. 278 and 397. Those pictures indicate the combination between the Lotus Sutra and the following two Sutras, the Sutra of Infinite Meaning and the Sutra of Meditation on Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. The relationship between those sutras was preached by the great teacher, Tien tai.
