Abstract | 「心靈環保」為法鼓山創辦人聖嚴法師所提出,並以之為法鼓山之核心理念。然自90 年代提出後,迄今已近30 年,此一概念卻未曾有過完整之研究與論述,甚且常被視為耳熟能詳卻無法清晰認知之口號或標語。
故本研究試圖整理該理念的不同面向,以探究相對完整且深刻的內涵。然卻非為建構「心靈環保學」之系統,而試圖從「學習」之概念整理之,故題為「心靈環保『學』」。而所謂之「意義」,則意指兩個層面,其一為心靈環保之意涵(meaning),其次為價值(value),蓋因二詞皆可以「意義」指稱之。而開展亦有兩層面,其一為法師畢生依不同的時間軸而開展之面向,其次為對心靈環保的開放性開展之探索,故可視為狹義與廣義心靈環保之研究。
聖嚴法師所提出之心靈環保有其所本,可視為法師的人間實踐系統,此非橫空出世,是由法師畢生重視並「承先」之「漢傳禪佛教」,「啟後」的「中華禪法鼓宗」為根底,從而開展的人間實踐系統――心靈環保。故於研究中,亦試圖釐清此三者――漢傳禪佛教、中華禪法鼓宗、心靈環保之間的連結與關係。
研究方法與內容乃循下述面向進行之,其一為溯源之脈絡化,深入理解聖嚴法師提出心靈環保所緣之經典、佛法要義與禪修等時空脈絡之底蘊。其二為詮釋之系統化,透過詮釋法師著作中對心靈環保「內修」――提昇人品之修心四層次、四層次自我,以及「外化」――人間淨土之開展,建構心與境三層次之系統,包括「以心為境」,「心與境相對」,以及「心即境」等。其三為實踐與當代應用,則就法師對心靈環保的具體推動,整理而為以心環為「理」,三大教育為「事」的推展,從事「心五四」運動的日常實踐、以「心六倫」為實踐場域,形構完整的「四種環保」範疇。
此外,本研究亦試圖回應,何以需提出「心靈環保」之名詞與概念?此回應主要在於闡釋聖嚴法師畢生之願心,在於將佛法深奧難解之名相與知識內涵,轉化為當代人得以理解並應用於日常生活的現代語彙。此亦可視之為,以宗教家自期的法師,對不同層次對象的化世開展。
“Spiritual Environmentalism” is spiritual idea and movement architected by Master Sheng Yen and constitutes in the core value of Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Organization. It has been over 30 years since Master Sheng Yen first announcement of the “Spiritual Environmentalism”, but no comprehensive volume devoted to this multifaceted, imbued with theoretical sophistications and, at the same time, pragmatic guidance, enterprise. On the contrary, “Spiritual Environmentalism” has been often regarded as a vague slogan or abstract concept that cannot be succinctly described and explained.
In light of the abovementioned shortcomings, this study attempts to bring to light in a systematic fashion the profundity and comprehensiveness of the enterprise of Spiritual Environmentalism. This study does not try to construct a system for the “Study of Spiritual Environmentalism”, instead, it attempts to study and organize it through “learning”, henceforth, the research title, “ ‘leaning’ Spiritual environmentalism”. By “significance” in the title, we refer to “meaning” and “value”. By “prospective”, we refer to the following two aspects as well: 1. the chronological development of the enterprise, and 2. an open exploration of the potentiality thereof. Thus, the study includes both specific and general study of “Spiritual Environmentalism.”
The foundation of “Spiritual Environmentalism” should be regarded as the “thisworldly-realization”. “Spiritual Environmentalism” comes out of the “inheritance” of the “Chinese Chan Buddhism” as well as the “inspiration” for the “The Dharma Drum Lineage of Chan Buddhism”, and then developed into this-worldly realization of “Spiritual Environmentalism.” Therefore, this study will also point out the correlations among “Chinese Chan Buddhism”, “The Dharma Drum Lineage of Chan Buddhism”, and “Spiritual Environmentalism.”
The research method and thematic organization of this study is as the following: First, trace back to the context in which “Spiritual Environmentalism” was formed, including the Buddhist scripture, Buddha dharma, and the teachings of Buddhist meditation on which “Spiritual Environmentalism” is based. Secondly, a systematic interpretation of Master Sheng Yen’s teaching of “inner-cultivation”, ie., the four steps of uplifting mind quality, as well as “external inculcation”, ie., promoting this-worldly Pureland, establishing the three cognitions, namely “taking mind as the external world”, “correlation between mind and the external world”, and “identifying the mind with the external world”. Thirdly, the implement and modern application, which introduce pragmatic and methodic practices employing the theory of “Spiritual Environmentalism” to carry out the enterprise of the “The Three Types of Education” and the routine of the “Fivefold Spiritual Renaissance Campaign” and situating into the fields of the “Six Ethics of the Mind Campaign,” to realize the “Four Kinds of Environmentalism.”
Thus, this study is a response to the question of “whys” regarding to the concept of “Spiritual Environmentalism,” a response to explain Master Sheng Yen |
