Abstract | The current pilot study examines how two women are dealing with divorce through Buddhist teachings. It has been conducted by means of face-to-face, in-depth interviews, together with visual art, and various levels of triangulation for enriching data and enhancing trustworthiness. The emerging data (grouped into nine emergent themes and three super-ordinate themes) indicate that Buddhist philosophy has inspired the informants not to harbour anger towards their ex-spouses, but to accept life changes, and convert their crises into self transcendence by means of the bodhisattva path of serving other people, which gives meaning to their distress. Although this cross-case project involves a small sample size, the research outcomes offer insight into divorced spouses and human service practitioners dealing with their own stressful challenges or with clients who have gone through divorce. Equally significant, the present study exhibits the applicability and practicality of Buddhist philosophy in contemporary contexts.
本先導研究探討兩位女性從佛法中領悟如何克服離婚的傷痛。除了面對面的深度訪談外,本文還採用視覺作品和多項三角測量法,目的在豐富內容和加強學術的嚴謹。研究資料組合成九項初階主題,然後歸納三項高階主題,顯示兩位受訪者深受佛理的啟發,不但沒有怨懟前夫,反而接受生命中的變遷,化危為機,自我超越,以自己的不幸經驗,服務他人,給苦難賦予意義。雖然這跨案例研究的樣本數目少,但研究結果可為離婚者和助人專業工作者提供有價值的參考,如何應對婚姻挫敗的壓力。同樣重要的是,本研究展示佛教哲理在當今處境的應用性和實用性。 |
