論祈禱做為佛教修行途徑——星雲大師祈願文研究

On Praying as a Way to Practice Buddhism–A Study of Pray Text by Master HsingYun

星雲大師在1967年5月16日開創了佛光山佛教事業體系，力行人間佛教，宗風獨特，但卻三根普被，為普羅大眾接受，目前道場遍及五大洲，有「佛光普照三千界，法水長流五大洲」之稱。 星雲大師「人間佛教」，強調三好「做好事、說好話、存好心」，四給「給人信心、給人歡喜、給人希望、給人方便」，三好四給為佛光人的信條，也開創了星雲大師由三好四給以進入「慈心三昧」的修行途徑。 星雲大師的祈願和祈禱相通。「三好四給的慈心三昧」落實在日常生活中，相對於以往念經抄經打坐而後的祈願回向，再加上與基督教天主教人士的交往，祈禱、讀經、聖歌是基督宗教最主要的修行方法，星雲大師發展出「祈願文」的修行途徑。 星雲大師祈願文的形式和內容，和傳統的祈願差異很大，形式上除了語言的口語化外，也長篇幅化。內容上也加上情感化的差異。星雲大師祈願文，從小我、大我到無我的境界，從「我願」、「願汝」、「願他」、「願眾」、「自覺行佛」，最後達到留白處「言語道斷,心行處滅」我法二空的禪修祈願境界。

Master XingYun created the Buddhism business system in Fo Guang Shan on May 16, 1967. He practiced Buddhism in the world. The style of Buddhism is unique and accepted by the general public.

It also created a way for Master HsingYun to enter the ''Samādhi of Compassionate Mind'' from three goodnesses and four givings. Master HsingYun's wishes and prayers are connected. The ''Three Goods and Four Givings of Compassionate Samadhi'' is implemented in daily life. Compared with the past prayers after chanting, copying, and meditation, plus the interaction with Christians and Catholics. Praying, scripture reading, and hymns are the most important practice methods of Christianity. Master HsingYun has developed a ''pray text'' practice method. The form and content of Master HsingYun's prayers are very different from traditional prayers. In addition to the colloquial language, the form is also long. Emotional differences are also added to the content. Master XingYun's prayers, from the small self, the big self to the state of no self, from ''I wish'', ''May you'', ''May him'', ''May all the people'', ''Conscientiously practice Buddha'', and finally reach the blank space ''Words'' The way is broken, the mind is destroyed at all times.''
