梁任公在其飲冰室全集中有論自由一文，論及心容易為四項目所奴，分別為古人、世俗、境遇、情慾。本人研讀克里希那穆提(J. Krishnamurti,1895-1986)之教誨，常覺得兩者有相當類似之處，故本文即以上述四重要關卡，整理兩者相關論點，藉以呈現梁啟超和克里希那穆提教誨之異同。梁啟超學問淵博，旁徵博引，舉名人大事為其論證，克里希那穆提教誨則在平凡生活中點出要覺知自己所受之制約，將兩者之著作交相閱讀並參酌六祖壇經，發現其可相得益彰，同時亦可藉此看出學者與修行者分野之處。 In the article “On Freedom” from Collected Works of the Ice-Drinker’s Studio, Liang Rengong (Qichao) remarked that our minds were easily enslaved by four objects: ancient people, common customs, circumstances and carnal desire. When studying Krishnamurti’s doctrine (J. Krishnamurti, A1895-1986), I have discovered there are some similarities in both teachings. This paper is therefore intended to present the similarities and differences between Liang Qichao’s and Krishnamurti’s teachings through marshalling both arguments related to the four key objects as mentioned above. Liang Qichao, a scholar and thinker with broad and profound knowledge, was used to citing celebrities’ opinions or major issues to support his argument by using well-documented and extensive evidence; Krishnamurti, a practitioner with in-depth experience of life, taught people to be truly aware of their bondage in ordinary life. Comparing both great writings through inter-reading, together with consulting the Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch, we can find that they both actually complement each other and also show their discrimination between scholar and the practitioner.
