華藏世界=Huazang World; 善知識=Good Knowledgeable Teachers; 普賢行願=Samatabhadra’s Vows of Practice
摘要
佛陀成道後的第一件事情，就是宣說《華嚴經》讓眾生了解在華藏世界中，人人是可以頓悟成佛，萬修萬人去。華嚴是指「本心」，以心為道場，以心入法界，發菩提心修清淨行，以善財童子為代表人物。「毘盧遮那」是梵語，翻譯為「遍一切處」意指眾生的「自性」佛。眾生的真心、本性遍一切處，一切眾生跟諸佛是一體的，本文以五蘊（色受想行識）進行創作，將色料倒入畫布自然流動後，產生抽象的心識狀態再進行影像重疊創作。 第一：以自我覺察的心意識活動進行創作，構成影像後再進行「影像重疊」，呈現出「毘盧遮那鏡像佛」後，願觀者與作者產生共情生起「信心」。第二：文殊菩薩指引善財童子向南參訪，期許善財以清淨行並「善用其心」必能獲得善知識的智慧，因此在善財童子的參訪過程中，向念佛的善知識學習，將念佛方法融入生活中，本文將以水墨、潑墨、攝影手法，假借山水表現「毘廬遮那佛」藏身法界中，以「鏡花水月系列」呈現，善財童子參訪時的心意識活動，比喻普賢行。第三：以「禪意手札」像線一樣將參訪歷程如珍珠般串連起來，時時覺知日常生活的起心動念，時時以清淨心行菩薩道，以文殊智共普賢行，成就自己的毘盧遮那佛，明白一切眾生跟諸佛是一體的，唯有迷與悟的差別。 The first act of the Buddha after attaining enlightenment was to proclaim the Avatamsaka Sutra, enlightening beings in the Huazang world that everyone has the potential to awaken to Buddhahood, with countless paths for countless individuals. Huayan, referring to the ‘original mind’, establishes the mind as the ground for of practice, entering the Dharma realm through the mind, cultivating pure conduct with the bodhi mind, and representing this path through figures like the Sudhana Bodhisattva. ‘Vairocana’ in Sanskrit translates to ‘pervading everywhere’,signifying the ‘self-nature’ Buddhahood of sentient beings. The truemind and inherent nature of all beings pervade everywhere, unifying all sentient beings with the Buddhas. This thesis uses the concept of the five aggregates (form, sensation, perception, mental formations, and consciousness) and employs a process where colors are poured onto the canvas to naturally flow, generating abstract states of consciousness before creating overlapped images. Firstly, it employs self-awareness of mental activities to create images, followed by ‘image overlapping’ to present the ‘Mirror-image of Vairocana Buddha.’This aims to evoke ' ‘faith’ ' in the audience as that of the author’s (mind). Secondly, Manjushri Bodhisattva guides Sudhana towards the south, expecting Sudhana to attain wisdom through pure conduct and ' ‘skillful use of the mind’. During Sudhana's pilgrimage, he learns the method of mindfulness of the Buddhas from knowledgeable good teachers, incorporating into daily life. This work, using ink, splashing ink, and photograph techniques, metaphorically expresses in the ‘Flowers in the Mirror, Water in the Moon Series’,of Sudhana's mental activities during the visits symbolizing the practice of Sudhana akin to the universal virtuous conduct. Thirdly, it utilizes ‘Zen-inspired notesjournals’ to string link together the experiences from the pilgrimage visits like pearls on a string, cultivating awareness of arising of thoughts in daily life, maintaining a pure mind in every moment to walk the Bodhisattva path, the Samantabhadra practice together with the wisdom of Manjushri, achieving one's Vairocana Buddha, and understanding that all sentient beings and all the Buddhas have the same essence, the only difference being the distinction between ignorance and enlightenment.
