碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 教育研究所 === 87 === The goal of education is to cultivate a whole, healthy personality. In other words, education emphasizes autonomous self-enlightenment, harmonious relations between human beings and the natural environment and harmonious relations between individuals and society. However, as society changes and scientific technology develops, the practice of education does not function very well in Taiwan.Problems of autonomous self-enlightenment can be seen on people who lack freedom of studying , teaching and learning, and the individual who is poor in critical thinking. Problems of the disharmonious relations between human beings and natural environment are the destruction of natural environment, the control of instrumental reason. Problems concerning the disharmonious relations between human beings and society are mainly caused by the long-time authoritative rule and the diseased education which serves as a slave to policy. All the mentioned subjects show clearly the main, basic shortage and problems in Taiwan's diseased education. Religion, like education, manages to afford people a whole and basic concern towards the meanings of life. Besides, the spirit of Buddhism has much enlightenment to reconstructing education. Therefore, this thesis applies the concept "Everything Has No Black "in Fa Tzang's "shin shr shiuan"（法藏「新十玄」）to bring a new vision to Taiwan's education. Firstly, the thesis points out the mentioned three kinds of education problems in Taiwan. Then we try to find the relevant concepts about three kinds in Fa Tzang's "shin shr shiuan" In this way, we suggest proper solutions to reconstruct Taiwan's education. That is, this thesis discusses the reconstruction of Taiwan's education according to Fa Tzang's "shin shr shiuan" . As reconstructing the autonomous self-enlightenment is concerned," shin shr shiuan"supplies as the concept of freedom that emphasize the importance of breaking one's insistence. Thus, it is important to focus on the practice of home-town education, to make teachers and students enlighten themselves, to allows teachers having professional freedom and to cultivate students to think critically "shin shr shiuan"'s round-whole scientific concept of cosmos is useful to solve problems of the disharmonious relations between human beings and natural environment. By establishing harmonious relations between human beings and natural environment, emphasizing both instrumental reason and values reason, and nothing scientific methods and developing scientific spirit, we people can transcend the objective-subjective, universe vision .The reconstruction of education is therefore possible. In addition, "shin shr shiuan" holds concepts of equality and compassion. The former can be viewed as the concept of democracy that emphasizes equality among beings, and the later can be viewed as the concept of love that insists on sympathizing and benefiting the other beings. Finally, according to Fa Tzang's "shin shr shiuan" the thesis concludes that freedom, science, democracy , love made the base of reconstructing education in Taiwan.
