宗教觀光朝聖者之心靈體驗：以南印度南卓林寺朝聖之旅為例

A Case Study of a Pilgrim's Spiritual Experiences: Taking One's Pilgrimage to the Thekchog Namdrol Shedrub Dargeyling Temple in South India as an Example

本文以親赴南印度南卓林寺朝聖之旅為例，採用自 我敘說與深度訪談之方法，探討宗教觀光朝聖者之心靈 體驗的內涵。研究發現：宗教觀光的功能，包含了宗教 信仰面、觀光休閒面、心靈寄託面、藝術文化面等，但 深層的宗教觀光——前往聖地朝聖，不只是侷限在一般 的宗教信仰面上，更涉及到身心靈的層面，追求自我的 價值；以本研究的藏傳佛教朝聖者為例，每個信徒的環 境背景、教育程度、經濟收入都不一樣，唯一相同的就 是宗教信仰；在朝聖持修之旅的經驗中，分別出現了依 戀性、教化性與療癒性的現象：一、藏傳佛教徒赴聖地 朝聖，對於虔誠的信眾而言，有種特殊的依戀性，對於 法王更是無比的敬仰，因景仰而接受清貧持修。二、信 眾把上師傳授下來的經典與法規，無形中融入到日常生 活中，從教化自己開始，再感染到身邊的人。三、朝聖 者在身心靈上的療癒，「施者」與「受者」經由以上觸 動與感受，讓自己懂得放下執著，就能真正放手做自 己，擺脫外在的束縛，引發積極正向的人生觀。

This study is a case study that the researcher visited the Thekchog Namdrol Shedrub Dargeyling Temple in South India. This study adopts a method of self narrative and deep interview to explore the pilgrim mind in the religious tourism. The results reveal that the religious tourism includes the functions of religious believe, tourism leisure, spiritual commitment and aesthetical culture. However, deep religious tourism, which visits a sacred place of pilgrimage, not only is limited to general religious belief but also involves the spiritual levels and the pursuit of self-accomplishment values. Therefore, for an example of the pilgrimage travel of the Tibetan Buddhism in South India, although each pilgrim has different environmental backgrounds, educational degrees and economical incomes, pilgrims have religious belief in common. In the religious tourism experiences, pilgrims have attachment, enlightenment and remedy. Religious Tibetan Buddhism pilgrims, who go on a pilgrimage, have specified attachment and considerably respect for religious masters. Because of respects, the pilgrims accept hard religious processes. The pilgrims, who read scriptures and accept rules from religious masters, integrate them in their life. The religious enlightenment is started from pilgrims themselves and spread others. For the spiritual remedy for pilgrims, rendering and accepting people with aforementioned touching experiences let themselves understand giving up attachment, doing themselves, and getting rid of outside constraints and inspire a positive outlook on life.
