博士 === 東吳大學 === 中國文學系 === 92 === Facing the historical fact that "the Book of Changes" spreading in the Buddhism, it inspire this thesis to interpret “the Book of Changes” in a approach different from “the “Yili” (philosophical) approach, the “Xiangshu” (images and numbers) approach, and ““Tushu” (figures and diagrams) approach”. Furthermore, in order to have more precise detailed research, through the study of relation between “the book of changes” and the history of Buddhism, the author finds that the book, “Zoh Yi Zan Chai” wrote by Oh-Yi-Zhi-Xu (1599-1655) in the late Ming Dynasty, which has used the concept of “a moment of decision” as the main theme through the whole book instead of the scattered, random, and non-system way of quoting the words of “the book of changes” by Buddhist priest for missionary course. Rreaching the historical peak in terms of that “Buddhists linking and sharing the Yijing and Buddhism”, Oh-Yi-Zhi-Xu establishing a set of complete and practicable ways of “interpreting Yijing from Buddhism thought and knowledge” by the followings: The book also combines the Buddhism concepts, such as “Observing the heart”, “Randomly give and support”, “Six instant principle”, and “Four Siddhanta” with “Yang Hexagrams indicating Wisdom, Vision, Nature”, and “Yin Hexagrams indicating Stable, Stop, and Study”, “Upper Trigram indicating Renouncing the world”, and “Lower Trigram indicating the method of renouncing the world”, to interpret the transformation of trigrams and hexagrams in “the book of Changes” and to reach conclusions such as “Lucky”, “Ominous”, “Regret”, and “Mean”. A way of writing books interpreting “Yijing” by “Combining diagrams and symbolisms in explanations” Combing the use of the “Observing the World, Observing Buddhism Laws, Observing Heart” to explain the diagrams and symbolisms with ideal “Buddhism-Yijing Language Model” which is “The whole trigram concluding the six places of the hexagrams”
