| 摘要: | 安心之道探究─ ─ 以《大乘起信論》為依據的哲學詮釋
摘要
本文研究的議題「安心之道」，反思由人生三大哲學問題：人生從何
來？ 人死從何去？ 人一期的生命應該如何安頓？ 產生眾生諸不安， 為解
除眾生不安， 進而探究不安消除的方法。該議題在國內學術界、前賢尚
未被關注過， 表示該論題具足前瞻性與可研議性。
「安心之道」雖為佛學議題， 以《大乘起信論》為研究素材， 然筆
者擬跨出佛學經論傳統義理探究之氛圍， 進行哲學性的詮釋工作， 而給
出較全面的關照。採用之研究方法為筆者自創之標異雙照法及蕭振邦所
創之中介嵌結法， 交互運用於全論之書寫。
完成最為重要之研究成果， 即安心法門欲達到之目的有二： 世俗諦
的今生幸福、後世幸福（ 第一義諦的究竟涅槃）， 透過《起信論》一心、
二門、三大、四信、五行的完整理論， 使眾生具足信、解、行、證， 得
以實踐地檢證安心的方法， 並達成安心的目的。其次， 本文主要工作並
非證成《起信論》提供的安心法門的合理性與可行性。安心的方法重在
實踐地檢證， 不在證成理論的合法性。
通過本論對安心之道的探究， 展現佛學議題研究新的範式， 提供學
界對佛學義理作不同形式的探討， 激發創意思考， 建立新穎的風格。;The topic of this essay, “The Way to be at Peace,” focuses on the three big philosophic questions of a life: where are we from? Where will we go when we die? How to settle down our lives? The three questions make people uneasy and this essay aims to relieve people’s anxiety and explore the way to eliminate the anxiety. This topic is rarely discussed among the domestic academic field and the honorable fellows; it should be prospective and worthy to study.
Although “The Way to be at Peace” is a Buddhist issue based on “Mahayanasraddhotpada,” the auther tries to exceed the limit of the traditional literal and logical interpretation of the Buddhism sutra books and make a philosophical interpretation from a more thorough perspective. The research approach taken by this essay mingles the “contrast-cross examination” created by the author himself with the method of “Intermediate Connection” created by Hsiao Chen-ban.
The most important consequence of this essay is to achieve the two purposes of pacifying the mind: for the conventional reality, pursue the happiness of this life and the happiness of the subsequent lives (i.e., the ultimate Nirvana under the premium truth). With the integral theory of one heart, two doors, three greats, four beliefs, and five practices under the Mahayanasraddhotpada, all living creatures could have the faith, understanding, action, and verification to substantially examine the way to stay in peace and achieves the goal of being peaceful. On a separate note, the main purpose of this essay is not to substantiate the rationality and feasibility of the way to pacifying the mind provided by the Mahayanasraddhotpada; the way to be at peace focuses on practice and performance, not on the substantiation of the legitimacy of theories.
From the study of the way of pacifying mind, this essay illustrates a new research model and proposes a different type of approach to explore the meaning and philosophy of Buddhism issues, inspires creativity and thinking, and formulates a new fashion. |
