藏傳佛教辯經傳統的現代表述

辯經是藏傳佛教的重要傳統，透過辯經能深入教理、提昇思辨能力，讓學者取得智性上的高度成就，許多重要的佛學論著亦以辯經形式寫成，辯經要求表達上的精確及邏輯上的嚴謹，然而相關論著皆以自然語言寫就，難以滿足如此的要求，故借助現代學科所發展出來的形式化與邏輯化的方式重新表述這些內涵，對此傳統有重要的意義。
本文針對辯經牽涉的命題、論式、流程及本體論，全面地以現代學科（述詞邏輯、集合論、電腦科學）的語言及概念加以轉譯與表述，並據以辨析、探究教理內涵。如此取徑不僅能提供一個跨語言的共通表述基準，起到方便傳遞、溝通、學習、研究的功效，也能讓我們以新的角度重新探究、詮釋佛教深邃的邏輯與哲學內涵，並取得新的洞見。
期待此創新的嘗試與努力，能拋磚引玉，吸引不同領域的學者加入探究行列，賦予古老的智慧以現代風貌，讓此傳統歷久彌新，重新為現代人所了解、接受，並因而受惠。

Debate is an important tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Through debate, one can learn deeper about Buddhist doctrine, improve critical thinking abilities, and obtain highly intelligent achievement. Even many Buddhist scriptures are written in the form of debate. Debate requires precise expression and logical rigor. However, the relevant scriptures are all written in natural language, which makes it difficult to meet such requirements. Therefore, for this tradition, it is of great significance to represent those connotations in formal and logical methods developed by modern disciplines.
This article uses the language and concepts of modern disciplines (predicate logic, set theory and computer science) to comprehensively translate and represent the propositions, arguments, processes and ontology involved in debate. And further, the proposed method is used to analyze and study the Buddhist doctrine. The work of this article shows that this approach can provide a cross-language expression framework, which facilitates transmission, communication, learning, and research. In addition, it can give us a new perspective to explore and interpret the profound logical and philosophical connotations of Buddhist doctrine, and help us to gain new insights.
We hope that the innovative attempt and effort can motivate scholars from different fields to join the research and give the ancient wisdom a modern look, so that modern people will understand, accept and benefit from the ancient wisdom tradition.
