AbstractAs the founder of the first Buddhist school -- T'ien-t'ai Buddhism in China, master Chih-i's indispensable contribution toward the establishment of Chinese Buddhism is reflected mainly in his ingenious interpretation of one of the most important Buddhist scriptures -- the Lotus Suutra (Saddharmapu.n.driikasuutra). This is because such an interpretation is not simply the interpretation of the scripture,but more significantly,through his systematic exposition of the Lotus Suutra, Chih-i expresses his own philosophical thought. Precisely speaking,the interpretation itself is a concrete demonstration of Chih-i's own philosophical system of understanding Buddhism. In this paper,I will deal with Chih-i's system of sign interpretation,which is discussed under eight categories. The source work of this study is based on Chih-i's gigantic work The Abstruse Meaning of the Suutra of the Lotus Flower of the Fine Dharma (Taishoo vol. 33,no. 1716). This study reveals how Chih-i creatively interprets the Lotus Suutra, and how his perfect harmonization philosophy is at work through his system of sign interpretation.

本文是以智者大師之《妙法蓮華經玄義》為藍本,從符號學的角度對智者大師詮釋《妙法蓮華經》的方法作初步的探索. 大師以靈活多樣的手法,不僅通過詮釋符號的方法,對《法華經》作出解釋,且在解釋的同時,也闡述了自己的理論思想. 更確切地說,這符號詮釋的過程,就是大師自身佛學思想的具體展現. 並且,由於大師創造性的才能,而使佛教中國化臻於爐火純青的地步. 本文將大師詮釋符號的方法分為八大類,意在從中窺見大師是如何創造性地解釋《法華經》的,又是如何揮灑自如地將其圓融哲學具體地展現在詮釋過程中的.
