| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 國語文學系碩士班 === 100 === There are various ways to preach the Buddha dharma. Every rite in Taiwan has its own steering so the practicing way differs to each other. The most famous and common ways are expounding the texts of Buddhism, practicing according to Buddha dharma, advising people doing good, etc. The Buddist Monk Guang-Ching, who founded Cheng-Tian Buddhist Temple, is famous for his ascetic practices, sitting in meditation, and extraordinariness.
The Buddist Monk Guang-Ching never received the normal literal education, did not expressly give a course to expound the texts of Buddhism, and wrote no books. He was illiterate; though limited by the aptitude for writing, he still pursued Buddhism and is one of the models who expound the texts of Buddhism. The old Buddist monk was diligent chanting the name of Buddha, practiced asceticism, and practiced no sleep at night. He was not poverty-stricken, endured all disgrace and insults, improved meditation, and diverted people in random.
The study includes five chapters. Chapter One is “Introduction”. Chapter Two, “The Buddist Monk Guang-Ching’s life and his cause with Buddhism”, presents his Buddhist karma before becoming a monk, the ascetic practices after becoming a monk, diverting himself and others, and the diverting after demise. Chapter Three, “The Buddist Monk Guang-Ching’s methods on practicing Buddhist rules”, states the old Buddhist monk’s practing ascetic to eliminate burden of sin, chanting the name of Buddha as well as sitting in meditation, and diverting people six times. Chapter Four, “The influence of The Buddist Monk Guang-Ching”, presents the debates between the old Buddhist monk and other masters and the influence on his followers, which eliminate the debate of slander between Chan and Jing. Chapter Five is “Conclusion”.
Through the old Buddhist monk’s lifelong ascetic practices and Buddha dharma disciplining, the study probes into researching Buddha dharma. The old Buddhist monk endured all disgrace and insults according to Buddha dharma, improved sitting in meditation, finally attained perception and unsealed intelligence. If we could regard the old Buddhist monk as a model to discipline, Bodhi could be proved by participating in Buddhism and disciplining.
