| Abstract | 本論文旨在佛教助念對於喪親者走過悲傷經驗之探討，由研究結果可知受訪者經由佛教助念產生了「傳遞」、「支持」、「跨越」、「改變」、「持續」、「轉變」等之經驗歷程模式，在經驗歷程中原有之悲傷經驗皆產生了轉變。1在分析佛教助念於喪親者走過悲傷之探討歸結有幾點：
一、佛教助念之引導形成一個「可以想像的死後存在」，導引之生死信念如「死亡不是永遠的結束」，給予喪慟中希望與支持。
二、佛教助念的引導及念佛過程，給予了一個情感傳達的通道，「親人死亡」的悲傷能轉換成「親人即將往生到一個很美好地方」的心像。
三、助念歷程中助念人員無私的付出與陪伴，亦提供了喪慟中的社會支持。
四、助念的力量提供了感應、安定與轉念力量，提供喪慟中支持及安慰。
五、助念歷程中的念佛持誦經文迴向的引導方式，甚至延續在助念結束後，成為喪親者安定自我的方式。受訪者在經歷佛教助念後除了原來悲傷經驗轉變外，原有之生命亦產生了轉化，如：生命哲理有啟發，生命觸角亦能延伸到自我生死的反思層面，產生回饋付出之心去服務他人，隨之生命視野也擴大了，終究步上復原之路。本研究結果可以作為佛教助念於本土化悲傷療癒領域一個研究與推展
的參考。
This paper (thesis) investigates Buddhist Chanting Assistance and its effects on the family members of the deceased through testimonies of five people/families who experienced or received Buddhist Chanting Assistance and the ameliorating effects on their suffering. From the research to the testimonies, Buddhist Chanting Assistance carries out the effect of “transmit”, “support”, “surmount”, “changes”, “maintenance” and “transform”. We than prove that Buddhist Chanting Assistance have a significant effect on the amelioration of suffering and changes in emotional states. We develop the following concepts to show how Buddhist Chanting Assistance affects suffering and emotional pain:
1. Buddhist Chanting Assistance allows those surviving to believe that there is existence after death, which allows the survivors to make the connection between the change between life and death. This means that the hope of the surviving is supported by the concepts that “death is not an eternal end”, “separation is transient”, and “reunion will happen in
the future.”
2. Buddhist Chanting Assistance use readings from sutras as a means to assist the surviving family members. In the process of the last rite ceremonies and the passing to the next life, the surviving family member’s pain of the “death of the relative” becomes the thought that “the relative is headed to a good place in his next life. ”
3. Through the unselfish efforts of people performing Buddhist Chanting Assistance, these ceremonies have been historically supported by society.
4. The power of the Buddhist Chanting Assistance, combined with that of Buddha offers the families “stability”, “shift of mind”, and “the comfort of assuring the death been rescued” (such could be obtained by the peaceful appearance of the dead body or by their own dreams). Thus, the support and the comfort to the bereavement enhance.
5. At the termination of said ceremonies, the effects continue to assist the surviving family members in amelioration of suffering, and are a means of providing peace. Therefore, for the people performing the last rite, even though death must occur, they are able to transcend above their mortality, and through the amelioration of such suffering, such people are allowed to mature, and life in general becomes more expansive for such people. At the same time, the surviving members are able to able to begin recovery. This investigation allows for the verification that religion can ameliorate suffering in death. |
