《貧僧有話要說》的敘事緣起與言說目的

The Origin of Narration and the Purpose of Speech in Hear Me Out

《貧僧有話要說》是星雲大師在2015年出版的重要著作，是大師聞知慈濟功德會在內湖園區開發一事後的發言，藉此表達自己長期以來的關懷、體驗、經歷與生活心得。《貧僧有話要說》的形式類似於口述歷史或自傳，以四十說所組成，涵蓋議題廣泛。可以看出星雲大師如何將佛法無形地融入於生命之中，以回應世間的各種問題。本文依「敘述緣起」與「言說目的」兩個架構整理《貧僧有話要說》，相當於佛法基礎的「因緣」，以及教育眾生如何朝向解脫的目標。在這樣的論述架構之下，顯示出此書的內容，雖無明顯的架構，卻可藉由佛法的基礎貫串起來，順應世間產生的問題，並且帶領人們導向在世間解脫的共同目標。
