| 抄録 | This thesis examines the historical gap in Buddhist doctrines. Specifically, whether or not Buddha actually spoke about “The World” as compiled in the text Abhidharmakośa. Based on the parable on the poison arrow, we understand that Buddha undeclared on the cosmos which is in alignment to the fundamental teaching on the four noble truths.
This universe is said to encompass the Dharma realm (Ch. 法界) which constitutes the teachings of Buddha. This thesis makes a hermeneutical examination of the historical Buddha’s teaching in comparison to modern circumstances and thoughts. The analytical approach in this thesis is structured towards the humanistic approach to Buddhism based on the thoughts of Master Hsing Yun. That is, realization of the truth of the universe and human existence (Ch. 認識宇宙人生的真理). This reflects the ultimate meaning of life and the destinations after one’s death (rebirth) in this universe from a modern perspective.
His Holiness, the Dalai Lama affirms that Buddhist philosophy should not contradict empirical evidence. The interpretative approach examines the attributes of the Buddha and his teachings. Comparisons are being made with the thoughts of modern Buddhist leaders, scholars, philosophers and psychologists based on their scientific testimonies, innovations and personal discoveries in the modern world.
This study also discusses the notion that “Death does not exist” from a contemporary context with classic Buddhist thoughts, the concept of karma and rebirths. From a psychologist perspective, the hierarchy reveals motivational needs required for existence in this modern environment with continuous management to changes. By knowing one’s mind and realizing who we are, integrate insights towards compassion, loving-kindness, joy and equanimity with one and all in the immense modern world. |
