Abstract | 「通靈」——與鬼靈、神靈溝通,在民間信仰中極爲普遍。佛弟子與鬼神溝通,在《阿含》或《尼科耶》裡早有記載,不足為奇。然而,許多通靈人卻自稱能隨時「通佛」——與佛菩薩直接溝通。這一點顯得不尋常,佛教史上的祖師大德似乎未曾作如是說。為了釐清其中的緣由,本文以聖嚴法師的思想為依據,分兩個步驟來探討「通靈」與「通佛」的問題。第一、釐清聖嚴法師的「通靈」觀,從中探討「通靈」的存世價值,以及佛教徒為何不應「通靈」。第二、釐清聖嚴法師的「通佛」觀,由此探討佛教古德如何能「通佛」,以及現代通靈人所「通」之「佛」的真偽問題。研究結果顯示,通靈有其世俗價值,不應完全被否定,然而佛教修行不主張通靈。此外,通靈人認知中的「佛」或「菩薩」,與佛教的定義有別。他們所通的「佛」或「菩薩」,多由鬼神幻現。
Mediumship – or channeling, to communication with ghosts spirits and deities – is very common in folk beliefs. It is also not surprising that Buddhist can communicate with ghosts and deities, since there are a lot of such cases documented in Āgama and Nikāya. Nonetheless, it is unusual when many spirit- mediums claim to be capable of communicating directly with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at anytime and anywhere, as great masters and patriarchs in the history of Buddhism do not seem to have said so. This paper tries to explore such phenomena from Master Sheng Yen’s viewpoints in two steps. First of all, this paper discusses the existential value of “mediumship” and why Buddhists should not involve in it. Secondly, this paper discusses how ancient Buddhist masters were able to “communicate with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas”, and the nature of those “Buddhas” that contemporary spirit-mediums “channel” with. The results of the study show that mediumship has a secular value that should not be completely denied, yet Buddhist practice does not encourage it. In addition, the identification of “Buddha” or “Bodhisattva” in the perception of spirit-mediums is quite different from the definition in Buddhism. Such “Buddha” or “Bodhisattva” they refer to is most likely manifested by ghosts spirits and deities. |
