禪宗「疑情」的初現：佛眼清遠語錄中疑情之譯註與研究

Abstract

本論文旨在考察作為一種禪宗修行方法的公案禪的實踐層面中，「疑情」 的性質與功能。目前所知的語錄文獻中，最早使用該方法的案例是佛眼清遠 (1067-1120)。本論文主要分兩大部份。第一部份是提供相關文獻與主題的 概述，第二部份則是佛遠禪師語錄中關鍵段落的翻譯與分析。本論文亦會以相 關一手文獻探討「疑」從傳統佛教止觀實踐到禪宗修行方式的轉化、修行中信 與疑的關係、不同學者的詮釋等問題。

This thesis proposes to examine a practical aspect of the gong’an 公案 method of Chan 禪 Buddhist meditation, namely the nature and function of the “doubt sensation” or yiqing 疑情, as described in the yulu 語錄, or recorded sayings, of Foyan Qingyuan 佛眼清遠 (1067-1120), one of the earliest known exponents of this method. The thesis is divided into two main parts. After providing an overview of the related literature and of the way in which this topic has been dealt with previously, I analyse the subject of doubt in the recorded sayings of Foyan in Part I. An annotated translation of the key passages on the subject from the set of recorded sayings attributed to this Chan master is included in Part II. Auxiliary questions such as the transformation of doubt in the Chan school, the relation between faith and doubt in practice, and the interpretations of various scholars will also be considered with reference to this set of primary texts.
