AbstractThe article consists of a translation and study of Chengguan da huangdaizi wen xinyao 澄觀答皇太子問心要 (Chengguan’s Response to the Crown Prince’s Query about the Essentials of Mind), a short philosophical essay composed by Chengguan 澄觀 (738–839), the reputed fourth patriarch of the Huayan school 華嚴宗. The text provides a succinct and eloquent summation of Chengguan’s discernment and elucidation of the central tenets of Buddhism, with a focus on the true nature of mind and reality. Instead of situating the text under a narrow sectarian rubric—or reading it as a compelling summary of Huayan doctrine—the article argues that the essay’s contents point to the existence of a general philosophical viewpoint and a soteriological stance that were embraced by the main traditions of elite Buddhism during the late Tang era. Accordingly, Chengguan’s essay exemplifies the broad acceptance of a pan-sectarian Buddhist framework—with its repertoire of literary metaphors, specialized terminology, and philosophical outlook—that was shared by major Buddhist traditions such as Tiantai 天臺, Huayan, and Chan 禪.

本文是對於《澄觀答皇太子問心要》的系統研究,並提供了全文的英文翻譯。這篇短小精悍的哲學論述文章由被譽為華嚴宗四祖的澄觀(738–839)所著。其文筆凝練而又頗具辯才的概述了澄觀對佛學核心教義的體察與闡發,尤其是他關於心性與真實的論述。本文旨在打破宗派之別的狹隘立場,而非僅僅是將該文章解讀為對華嚴哲學的高度概括。本文指出,文章的字裡行間呈現出這樣一副圖景,即晚唐時期上層佛教的傳統中普遍存在著關於義理觀念與救贖願景的共同話語。就此看來,澄觀的論述展現出的是一套泛教派的佛教體系,其文學隱喻、術語表達、哲學觀念亦廣泛運用於當時主要的佛教傳統,如天臺、華嚴、與禪。
