| Abstract | This paper explores the religious life of the Republican era Buddhist monk Yinguang (1862-1940) through select letters he wrote to a wide range of students and spiritual companions. Through translations and analyses of Yinguang’s letters to the laywoman Xu Fuxian and the layman Li Bingnan (Dharma name: Deming), and to the monks Ti’an and Dixian, I develop a textured image of the man Yinguang through “micro-histories,” or moments of personal exchange. Yinguang’s letters to recipients of diverse backgrounds (gender, religious affiliation, socio-economic status) reveal that he moved fluidly between religious worlds (Confucian, Chan, Tiantai, Pure Land) and cannot be reduced to a representative of one school,” as the title “Pure Land patriarch” suggests. This preliminary study of epistolary sources instead depicts Yinguang at several particular moments in time: Yinguang as an accomplished scholar, a Pure Land devotee, a historian, a public lecturer, a traveler, a hermit, a calligrapher and a prolific letter writer.
本論文以印光大師的書函為探索其佛教世界，也透過「與徐福賢女士書」，「復李德明居士書四」，「與諦閑法師書」，和「與大興善寺體安和尚書 」闡明印光的特徵與個性。由於徐福賢，李德明（李炳南），諦閑法師，和體安和尚的性別，宗教信仰，和社會經濟地位都不同，因此其能顯示印光的融合能力和他思想的深度。因為印光對「儒」，「禪」，「天台」，「淨土」等都有豐富的知識和經驗，本論文把「淨土宗祖師」這標籤問題化。換句話說，雖然我們能把印光歸納於「淨土宗」，其實他在具體的歷史時刻當過歷史家，學者，淨土的信徒，儒學家，隱士，和香客。
