Abstract | 我們生活在一個宗教多元性的時代。這並不意味著宗教多元性是最近才出現的一種現象。宗教與人類本身擁有一樣古老的歷史,儘管宗教間有緊張局勢出現,一直以來仍是和睦共處的彼此存在。今天的宗教狂熱與其極端意識形態的暴力事件,使宗教變成滔天大罪。宗教不敏感和不容忍嚴重威脅我們的生存,因此信仰對話的是急迫的需要展開的。
梵蒂岡第二次大公會議中關於信仰對話的訓導,是天主教傳教活動重要指導原則。天主教教會建議 宗教 對話的四種形式 – 生命、行動、神學交流、宗教經驗。有許多專家著作與宗教交流活動聚焦在神學交流領域。然而對於一般教友的生活中實踐宗教對話的教導與靈修經驗的體現,即使在今天,幾乎沒有受到重視。
在所有的靈修傳統中,人們通常藉由神聖故事來表達自己的靈性(信仰)的經歷。本研究重點關注於神聖故事的對宗教對話的重要性,分析基督宗教中的福音故事和禪宗的公案中的神聖故事。神聖的故事是靈性體驗的最佳載體其比較研究可以幫助我們發現其共同的元素(我稱之為“神聖故事的靈性”), 特別是為一般教友,它們將是宗教對話最合適的起點。
We live in an era of religious pluralism. It does not mean that religious pluralism is a phenomenon of recent origin. Religions/spiritual traditions are as old as humanity itself and they co-existed harmoniously, despite tensions. Today religious fanaticism, with its violent execution of extreme ideologies, has made spiritual traditions appear monstrous. Religious insensitivity and intolerance threaten our very existence and hence the urgency of interfaith dialogue.
Interfaith dialogue occupies an important role in the missionary activity of the Catholic Church after Vatican II. The Church suggests four forms – of life, action, theological exchange, and of religious experience – of interfaith dialogue. There have been many interfaith activities and writings of specialists in the area of theological exchange. The role of the laity and their spiritual experiences receive very little attention in interfaith dialogue, even today.
This study focuses on the importance of sacred stories in interfaith dialogue. In all spiritual traditions, people express their spiritual experiences through sacred stories. This study analyzes sacred stories from two spiritual traditions – gospel stories in Christianity and kōans in Zen. Since, sacred stories are the best carriers of spiritual experience, a comparative study of them could help us to discover common elements (‘spirituality of sacred stories’, as I call them) that would serve as the most suitable experience-based starting point for interfaith dialogue, especially for the laity.
