摘要: | 「本心」向來是中國傳統中最普遍、最基本的範疇,任何一位論心性的哲學家,不論是從道德層面、智能層面,甚至永恆生命追求的層面,莫不繼承和運用「本心」來詮釋自己的思想、找到「本心」普遍的原理,從而為它建構一個嶄新的知識系統或原理。透過本心的朗現,人才得以解放自我、提升自我、超越自我,以安頓自己的生命,及開創人類最終的價值。若沒有建立本心觀,那麼宗教跟哲學都是無本的。伴隨物質生產和符號生產雙管齊下地推升,物欲、權欲、名譽欲等現代性負面因素已在世界各地不斷擴散。現代人面對麻木、空茫,孤獨的生活方式就是追求更多的物質、名利、地位。但當這些願望都被實現之後,人心中的空虛、茫然和徒勞之感,將更為劇烈,深深地滲入他們的骨髓,並直接威脅人自身當下的棲息和未來的繁衍。這些皆為人類擁有高度文明及物質享受後所要面臨的嚴峻問題。故如今這個時代的需求,就是回歸人的本心,也是我們這個多事之秋時代的需求。
由是觀之,宋七力詮釋「本心」的義理及實踐,除了確能掌握了哲學的主要動脈之外,也是對精神永恆價值的追求,在今天依然能發揮它的價值,甚至應該更被重視。宋七力以己身的天賦異禀,加諸對本心思想的詮釋與實證,使人更有效地透顯本心的功能。人的文明本來就是靠本心創造出來的,宇宙內所有的善和美,就是本心善和美的響應。職是之故,為了整全而縝密地論析宋七力對「本心」的義理及實踐的詮釋,本論文以嚴謹的方法和態度,依論文的結構,分別依序地論述其生平、對「本心」的義理及實踐的形成的機緣、過程及世局氛圍;再析論他「本心」的思想及實踐的淵源,並據之探究其對「本心」詮釋的方法、「本心」的意義、本心顯發、意識「起動」與「出離」的詮釋,以及對「法身」功能與價值的詮釋;再進一步分析他對「本心」實踐方法的詮釋、對「放光」與「分身」的詮釋與實證;進而論究他對「天人合一」境界的詮釋。最後對其詮釋成果作一客觀的批評及評價,並總結全篇論文,肯定宋七力對本心及實踐的詮釋的時代意義及對現代文明的貢獻。
The "original mind" has always been the most common and fundamental category in Chinese tradition. Any philosopher who discusses the nature of the mind, whether from the moral, intellectual, or even eternal life pursuit level, inherits and applies it to interpret their own thoughts, find the universal principles of the "original mind", and thereby construct a new knowledge system or principle for the "original mind". Through the manifestation of their "original mind", people are able to liberate themselves, improve themselves, surpass themselves, so as to settle their own lives, and create the ultimate value of humanity. If the concept of "original mind" is not established, then religion and philosophy have no foundation. With the dual promotion of material production and symbol production, negative factors of modernity such as material desires, power desires, and reputation desires have been continuously spreading around the world. Modern man faced with numbness, emptiness, and loneliness in their way of life, pursue more material wealth, fame, and status. But once these wishes are fulfilled, the feelings of emptiness, confusion, and futility in human hearts will become even more intense, deeply ingrained into their bone marrow, and directly threaten their current habitat and future reproduction. These are all serious problems that humanity will face after possessing a high level of civilization and material enjoyment. Therefore, the demand of today's era is to return to the "original mind", which is also the demand of our troubled times.
In this regard, Chi-Li Sung 's interpretation of the meaning and practice of the "original mind" thought not only truly grasps the main artery of philosophy, but is also a quest for the eternal value of spirituality, which can still be utilized today, and should even be valued more highly. Song's own unique talents, coupled with the interpretation and demonstration of the meaning of the "original mind" thought, enables people to reveal the functions of it more effectively. Human civilization is originally created by the "original mind", and all the goodness and beauty in the universe are responses to its goodness and beauty. Therefore, in order to discuss and analyze Chi-Li Sung 's interpretation of the meaning and practice of the "original mind" thought in a comprehensive and meticulous manner, this thesis adopts rigorous methods and attitudes, and based on the structure of the thesis, sequentially discusses his life, the formation of the meaning and practice of his "original mind" thought, the chances, processes, and the vibe of the world; then discuss the origin of the principle and practice of his "original mind" thought, and inquire into his methods of interpreting the "original mind", its significance, manifestation, the " activate " and "out of body" of consciousness, as well as his interpretation of the function and value of the " dharmakaya " based on them; further analyzes his interpretation and the practice method of the "original mind", as well as his empirical proofs of " light emission " and " Fen-Shen or self-nature Dharma Body "; and then examines his interpretation of the realm of "unity between heaven and man". Finally, the results of his interpretation are objectively criticized and evaluated, and the entire thesis concludes by affirming the contemporary significance of Song's interpretation of the meaning and practice of the "original mind" and its contribution to modern civilization. |
