| Abstract | 近一百年來，歐美等國的助人行業發展出了很多經驗理論和機構實踐，因其發心與菩薩道相應，吸引了很多佛教徒進入其職業化的訓練，然而佛教教團本身並沒有從機構的層面發展出較完善的支持， 「 專業菩薩 」 主要從個人層面去連接佛法修行和其職業實踐。此論文採用訪談方法並結合佛教教義實踐和相關社科理論，探討北美的漢傳禪宗，尤其是法鼓山信眾中的“專業菩薩”遇到的困境和挑戰，並從 「 自我技術 」 和 「 自我照顧 」 的視角，構想如何化挑戰為機遇。以此，可幫助教團與相關助人行業進行更好的鏈接，一 方面幫助教團及信眾修一切善法，另一方面也可讓漢傳禪法在西方社會，能夠更加適當、有效地任運悲智，化度眾生。
Over the past century, Western societies have developed various theoretical frameworks, training models, and institutional practices for helping professions like social services, healthcare, and psychotherapy. As these helping professions and the Bodhisattva path share the similar aspiration and spirit, many Western Buddhist practitioners have entered these helping professions to become “Professional Bodhisattvas”. However, Buddhist organizations have yet to develop comprehensive institutional support for those individuals, so these pioneer Professional Bodhisattvas have been bridging their Buddhist practices and their vocational pursuits mostly at an individual level. In this paper, I combine the method of semi-structured interviews with Buddhist teachings and relevant social science theories to explore the structural challenges faced by Professional Bodhisattvas among North American Chan Buddhists with a particular focus on Dharma Drum practitioners. Specifically, I discuss from the perspectives of “techniques of the self” and “self-care” to explore how to transform these challenges into future opportunities. A deeper understanding between Buddhist institutions and helping professions could on the one hand, encourage the Sangha to learn limitless approaches to Dharma, and on the other hand, help Western Chan Buddhists use compassion and wisdom to alleviate suffering in appropriate and effective ways. |
