| Abstract | 淨土思想原為求生十方淨土的法門，其中包括阿閦佛淨土、阿彌陀佛淨土、彌勒淨土等諸多佛國淨土，都有其求生的專修之法，也都稱為淨土法門。中國彌陀淨土思想從慧遠於廬山結蓮社開始提倡，至曇鸞、道綽，確立阿彌陀佛信仰體系化後，再經善導在基礎上建立起完備的淨土理論及儀軌，使淨土宗具有真正的宗教形態。此宗以持名念佛為主要方法，由於其簡要而易行，很快發展為淨土信仰的主流，由「家家彌陀、戶戶觀音」可知此法對廣大民眾影響之深遠，故後來只要求生淨土之法，幾乎就專指西方極樂世界的淨土宗。唐初為中國佛教思想的成熟期，佛教界教學情勢猶如百花競美，淨土宗簡化修行以稱名念佛為重，引起各界的質疑。諸家諍議交涉在凡夫能否往生報土？念佛為別時意？淨土法門是否適合末法人所行持？求生彌陀淨土還是彌勒淨土？經論相違等等議題，這些問題對淨土宗的普遍化推行阻礙甚大。故善導的弟子懷感基於上述種種因素，積極執筆撰寫《釋淨土群疑論》，直接討論與回覆問題，消弭各方對淨土法門的疑難。在他縝密學理分析中，廣引各方經論為淨土宗之理論做佐證，並層層剖析淨土宗明確的教義及思想體系，而著下此一重要著作。本論文將此書歸納為解行二門做為探究，以利明白懷感所倡導的阿彌陀佛身土、往生條件、別時意說、淨土中有、念佛三昧、淨土宗與三階教之異同、西方淨土與彌勒淨土之比較、乃至臨終念佛，以及會通淨土自身與其他宗派之經論等諸多主張，且對此書做更深一層的認識。淨土如此厚實的意涵，是古聖先賢所努力的結果。時至今日，若僅僅認為口稱一句「南無阿彌陀佛」便是淨土法門修行的內容，或者認為淨土宗並沒有深刻的哲理，這即是對淨土宗有著極大的錯誤認知。本論文欲藉《釋淨土群疑論》一書之了解，揭示淨土法門之深意，也給予當今學人對西方淨土重新省思。
The Pure Land doctrine is the rudiment for leaving for Elysium, including Pure land of Aksobhya, Pure Land of Amitabha, & Pure Land of Maitreya, each with its own rudiment which is also called Pure Land Approach for leaving for the rebirth in western heaven. The doctrine of Maitreya Pure Land was first initiated by the promotion of monk Hui-Yuan followed by Yuan-Roan, and Dao-Cho. After the belief in Amitabha was established substantially, the monk Shan-Dao founded complete Pure Land theory and principles as the basis for embodying the Pure land sect to be a well-recognized religious ideology. As this sect’s advocating reciting Buddhism idiom was easy and simply to be imitated, this sect developed dominant pure land doctrine rapidly. A proverb 「every family devotes to Amitabha, every household believes in the Goddess of Mercy」can prove how significantly this sect’s advocating prevailed among the social public. Therefore, the pure land sect of the Elysium was nearly synonymous to the approach for rebirth in the western heaven.
While Chinese Buddhist thought developed in its maturity in Tang Dynasty, Buddhist preaching was in highly diversification and prosperity. High doubts were cast on the Pure Land Sect’s emphasis on simplifying Buddhism practice by sticking to recitation of Buddhism idioms. All Buddhist sects focused on contending whether any person without professional and dedicative Buddhism practice can achieve rebirth in the Elysium? Such other disputes as violation to Buddhist theories retarded significantly the promotion for prevalence of Pure Land Sect. Due to the aforesaid factors, Shan-Dao’s disciple Huai-Gan devoted to writing Explanations on the doubts of Pure Land （《釋淨土群疑論》） directly discussing and answering all related problems for eliminating all sects’ puzzles on the Buddhism approaches and rudiments. His precise academic and theoretical analysis stimulated scholars and researchers of all sects to provide corroboration for Pure Land Doctrine and expatiated clearly Pure Land Buddhist’s definite religious doctrine and thinking structure and embodies his writing an important status.
Analysis on the approach for pursuing rebirth in the Elysium is conducted in this research for helping understanding many of Huai-Gan’s assertions, such as Amitabha moral and conduct and living, rebirth prerequisites, expected futuristic timing for rebirth in western heaven, the path to pure land, absorption of mindfulness of the Buddha, the differences and similarities between Pure Land Sect and The Teaching Of Three Levels, the comparisons between Western Heaven Pure Land and Maitreya Pure Land and reciting Buddhism idioms upon death, and Integrity Pure Land Sect’s and other sects’ assertions and further expatiation on this book.
The meaning of pure land is contributed by ancient sages’ efforts and devotion. It would be a ridicule regarding the Pure Land Sect if it is believed that reciting 「Namo Amitabha」is the constitution of Pure Land Buddhist practice rudiments. It is hoped in this research that the profound meaning of Pure Land Sect can be expatiated by the research on the book Explanations on the doubts of Pure Land （《釋淨土群疑論》）so that the current researchers and scholars can re-eval |
