圓覺妙心=round sense of the heart; 如來藏=Tathāgata Within; 空性=emptiness; 真如=truth; 萬法=Wanfa (All truths)
摘要
本論文的主題是「《圓覺經》如來藏空性智慧的教學」，主要在分析《圓覺經》內涵著如來藏的空性智慧，由此引發出《圓覺經》的一套理論架構，而透顯出所關切的核心要旨──眾生皆有佛性，人人皆可成佛。只要依於書中精研，在觀修上皆可按圖索驥，有助於透視在修行道上的盲點，作為實踐上的指南。 「如來藏」的原字是（tathāgata-garbha/ the Tathāgata Within:containing Tathāgata），意即如來隱藏在內。此一複合詞中的「如來」（tathāgata），表示如是而來及如是而去，也就是闡釋生命世界根本向度上的來去。此「如來藏」是指稱眾生在無盡的生命流程中，由於被眾多的善惡資訊所覆蓋，因此，無法透視整個生命實相。若由此一空性概念去深究考察，不僅可發掘出生命之流的來龍去脈和橫向的廣大連結，而且可做為通往菩提道的修行軌則。 全文共分為六個章節：第一章緒論。第二章文獻的依據和學術回顧。第三章《圓覺經》的教學綱領與觀修原則，說明本經的教學要旨，探討菩薩從因地開始的修行方法，並分析不同根性者的禪修法要。第四章探討如來藏的義涵和特質。第五章依止圓覺妙心將如來藏修成如來果位，分為三節陳述：第一節，闡明真如法性與現象萬法之義理，第二節，如來藏以善觀因緣排除錯謬認知，第三節，如來藏空性智慧展現於圓覺妙心的修學應用。第六章 結論，總結本文的要點。 佛教從印度傳來東土，經融合了中華文化，自成一適合國人的宗教哲學體系，尤以《圓覺經》為唐、宋、明以來教導華嚴、天台、禪等各宗派流行講習的經典。其內蘊如來藏空性思想，自明清的《楞嚴經》、《圓覺經》、《大乘起信論》等被譽為義理融貫的二經一論，諸多教派皆予以認同及廣為引用，影嚮後世理念深遠。
The theme of this thesis is the teaching of the emptiness wisdom of Tathagata in " Yuanjue Sutra". It mainly analyzes the emptiness wisdom of Tathagata in the "Yuanjue Sutra", and unfolds the theoretical framework revealing the core tenet of concern - all beings have buddha nature, and everyone can become a Buddha. As long as you follow the study in the book, you can follow the map in the observation and help to see the blind spots on the practice road as a practical guide. The original word is tathāgata-garbha/ the Tathāgata Within, which means that tathāgata is hidden within. The "tathāgata" in this compound word means that if it comes and then goes, it is to explain the fundamental direction of the life world. This “Tathāgata Within” refers to the fact that all beings are in the endless life process. Because they are covered with a plethora of information of good and evil, they cannot see the whole life reality. If we study this concept of emptiness, we shall not only discover the ins and outs of the flow of life and the vast links, but also serve as a guideline for the Bodhi Path. The full text is divided into six chapters: Chapter 1 Introduction. The second chapter is the basis and academic review of the literature. The third chapter is the teaching program of Yuanjue Sutra, which explores the practice methods of Buddhism from the beginning of the earth and analyzes the meditation methods of different roots. The fourth chapter explores the meaning and traits of the Tathāgata Within. The fifth chapter positions the cultivation of Tathāgata Within in the round sense of the heart. It is divided into three sections: the first section, which clarifies the truth of law and the phenomenon of Wanfa (All truths), and the second section, Tathāgata Within eliminates the misunderstanding of the cause. In the third section, the emptiness wisdom of Tathāgata Within is presented in the application of study in the round sense of the heart. Chapter 6 Conclusions summarizes the main points of this paper. Buddhism has spread from India to the East, and it has been integrated with Chinese culture. It has become a religious philosophical system suitable for the Chinese people. In particular, the "Yuanjue Sutra" has taught the classic sects of Huayan, Tiantai and Zen since the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties. The emptiness wisdom of Tathāgata Within since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as the Shurangama Sutra, the Yuanjue Sutra, and the Dacheng Qixin Theory, have been hailed as the two classics and one theory, and many schools have been recognized and widely quoted, and the influence on the future generation is far-reaching.
