| 摘要: | 星雲大師認為佛法不在於多麼高深莫測，而是要能「給人懂」，於是透過《星雲禪話》講述種種公案，結合當代社會需求與問題，乃至進一步提出疑情，提供現代參禪者思維練習。而星雲大師作為臨濟宗第四十八代傳人，上承臨濟法脈，下開展出佛光禪，故透過《星雲禪話》展現當代意義再詮釋，讓禪法走入生活為我們所用。《星雲禪話》作為現代燈錄，且一開始是以報紙、電視台等傳播媒介，面對廣大的閱聽者，在內容上，星雲大師不只增補公案細節，加上情境，並在每篇公案的篇末以「養心法語」作為對公案的提點；不僅讓讀者認識禪宗公案，也能進一步了解從現代社會看待公案方式。 因此，本論文透過公案的闡釋，回應當代社會與現代人所遇到的修學禪法的問題，乃至身心狀態。故以三、四章佛光禪的修學次第來分析《星雲禪話》的公案，分別探究《星雲禪話》中的道前次地──預備道、善行道、信行道；以及三學次第──戒行道、定行道、慧行道。分析並爬梳公案的取材類型、詮釋敘事特色以及對於現代社會的提點；希望透過符應修道次第分類的公案，搭配星雲大師對公案的現代詮釋，使參禪者乃至閱讀者除了可以在文字義上參透公案，亦能次第行道，實踐佛光禪之人間性、菩薩行。
Venerable Master Hsing Yun believes that the essence of Buddhism lies not in its profound and mysterious nature but in its ability to be understood by people. Therefore, through his book “Hsing Yun's Chan Stories,” he narrates various Chan stories and combines them with contemporary social needs and issues. He further introduces the concept of “questioning” to provide modern Chan practitioners with a framework for contemplative practice. As the 48th-generation descendant of the Linji school, Venerable Master Hsing Yun inherits the Linji Chan lineage and expands it into the Fo Guang Chan. Thus, through “Hsing Yun’s Chan Stories,” he presents a contemporary reinterpretation of Chan, allowing it to be applied in our daily lives. Serving as a modern version of the recorded sayings of Chan masters, the book was initially disseminated through media such as newspapers and television, reaching a wide audience. In terms of content, Venerable Master Hsing Yun not only adds details and contextualizes the Chan stories but also provides “words for nurturing the mind” at the end of each case, offering guidance and insights. This not only allows readers to become acquainted with Chan stories but also helps them understand how to approach these cases from the perspective of modern society. Therefore, this thesis analyzes the Chan cases in “Hsing Yun’s Chan Stories” to address the issues faced by contemporary society and individuals in studying and practicing Chan, including their mental and physical states. Chapters 3 and 4 analyze the stages of Fo Guang Chan practice, which include pre-path stages (preparing the path, cultivating virtuous conduct, and cultivating faith in practice) and the three main stages of learning (observing precepts, cultivating concentration, and practicing wisdom). The thesis examines the types of cases, narrative characteristics, and contemporary insights provided in “Hsing Yun's Chan Stories.” By categorizing the cases according to the stages of spiritual cultivation and combining them with Venerable Master Hsing Yun's modern interpretations, the aim is to guide Chan practitioners and readers to not only understand the meaning of the cases but also progress in their spiritual cultivation, embodying the humanistic and bodhisattva aspects of Fo Guang Chan. |
