從噶舉傳承教法「大手印」論《密勒日巴大師全集》中動物與聖徒的證道關係=On the Enlightened Relationship between Animals and Saints in "The Hagiography of Milarepa" from the Dharma of Kagyü Lineage's "Mahāmudrā"
The religious biographies of Tibet stand for the narrative of rNam-thar which incarnates the outer, inward and secret phases of these three narrations. It interweaves the form of doha as well as the Tibetan Buddhist practices of its root, path and fruit in Milarepa's oral transmission through the writing of hagiographies and doha: a root of meditation to Nature as Svabhāva, a path to Mahāmudrā dharma into Kagyü lineage, a fruit of emptiness in quest of liberation and enlightenment.The text for this research is about the fourth master of Kagyü lineage-Milarepa (1040-1123) whose hagiographical collection entitled as "The Collection of Milarepa" Master consists of two parts: "The Biography of Milarepa Master" and "The Collected Songs of Milarepa Master" will be explored in this paper. During the forty-two-year of Buddhist practices in mountains, Milarepa listens to the Nature (realms and Svabhāva) as well as the Mahāmudrā in emptinesss. The paper aims to dig out the enlightened relationship between animals and saints correlated with the dharma of Kagyü Lineage's Mahāmudrā and to explain the roles of these animals with the practitioners in the eighty-four ancient Indian hagiographies.
