Abstract | 「人間佛教」雖然是當代中國佛教的一種重要模式,但它並非是「空穴來風」,而是有其深厚的中國佛教史根基,比如隋代成立的天台宗就有著豐富的「人間佛教」思想資源。首先,天台宗祖庭國清寺的寺名就有「寺若成,國即清」的寓意,這個寓意就非常形象地表達了佛教的「人間關懷」功能,即佛教是有利於國家治理和社會發展的。另外,針對很多人認為「人間佛教」參與世間社會事務是缺乏宗教的神聖性,天台宗的「十界互具」思想則可以為「人間佛教」的神聖性提供堅實的佛學理論基礎。所謂「十界互具」,就是在地獄、餓鬼、畜生、阿修羅、人、天、聲聞、緣覺、菩薩、佛,這「十界」中,每一界都具有其他九界之性,比如我們通常所說的「人具有佛性,佛具有人性」,就是它的一個案例。
Humanistic Buddhism, as one of the most important models of modern Chinese Buddhism, is not without its foundation. Indeed, it is deeply rooted in the history of Chinese Buddhism. The Tiantai school founded in the Sui dynasty, for example, has provided Humanistic Buddhism with rich ideological resources. To begin with, Guoqing Temple, the ancestral temple of the Tiantai School, whose name infers that “once a temple is built, the country will be stable ( 寺若成,國即清).” Furthermore, it expresses that one of the functions of Buddhism is to care for the world, i.e. Buddhism is conducive to national governance and social development. Concerning those who consider the involvement of Humanistic Buddhism in social affairs as proof of its lack of sacredness, the Tiantai thought of the “mutual containment of the ten realms ( 十界互具)” that provides a solid theoretical foundation for the sacredness of Humanistic Buddhism. The so-called mutual containment of the ten realms refers to the Ten Dharma Realms of hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, humans, heavenly beings, śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, bodhisattvas, and buddhas. Each contains the nature of the other nine realms. It is often said that, “Everyone has buddha-nature, and every buddha has human-nature,” and this is a good example to illustrate it. |
