佛教《葛拉瑪經》的十事勿著和倫理的抉擇

The Features of Buddhist Ethical Judgment Based on the Principle of Ten Avoidance

本文依據《葛拉瑪經》來探討佛陀面對不同的教義和哲理的難題時，所提出的「十事勿著」的原則和「倫理的抉擇」。「十事勿著」是對各種教說的十條不要輕信的原則；「倫理的抉擇」是大眾在正見和正思維下對善法和不善法的正確抉擇，如此從相諍的教說回到現實的倫理的實踐，並獲得四種安穩。《葛拉瑪經》在泰國、緬甸等地是眾所周知的一經，但是此經在漢地卻少受注意，所以筆者於本文將依次引用多段的經文來探討內容，並分析其中重要的見解。
