Description
Summary:碩士 === 法鼓文理學院 === 佛教學系 === 104 === The meaning of equanimity in this dissertation refers to the concept and method of Chan-practice. I use the method of analysis and induction to see the difference between Buddhist scriptures and recorded sayings. Based on the Saṃyutta Āgama I research on the equanimity of early Indian Buddhism. With the reference of the Extensive Record of Chan Master Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157) I research on the equanimity of Silent-Illumination Meditation. In addition to research the integration and expansion of Buddhist equanimity in Silent-Illumination Meditation, and I look for the thought and practices of Buddhist equanimity. This dissertation attempts to open up the dialogue between early Buddhist scriptures and the recorded sayings of chan master, and to research the relationship between Indian Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism in order to understand the process of its development. With the method of reading scriptures, I roughly complete the study of researching the integration and expansion of Buddhist equanimity in Silent-Illumination Meditation. To look for the roots of Chinese Buddhism''s chan practices from Indian early Buddhism, we research on the foundation of Silent-Illumination Meditation. We can see it stands on the Saṃyutta Āgama which is inherited from the teaching of Buddha.
