空間與感通探析釋道世（596-683）《法苑珠林•感通篇》的敘事特色

道世(596-683)《法苑珠林•感通篇》出現的時代在佛教歷史中占有重要地位，不僅反映了當時僧人對感通的理解，亦使用了特殊的遊方敘述模式來詮釋感通。本文解釋初唐時期遊方的宗教實踐與感通之關聯性，分析〈感通篇〉的敘事序列，說明道世對材料的篩選與排序的意義；亦探究在敘事安排中，「佛法、聖跡、住持」所詮釋的神聖空間、歷史空間之關係；藉由空間的心理化和主體化的觀察，探討道世對「中心」及「邊緣」觀念的詮釋，最後做出「感通」所描述的特殊空間與當時佛教歷史發展特色之關係的結論。

The Gantong chapter in Daoshi’s Fayuan zhulin appeared in an important period in Chinese Buddhism, and reflected the understanding of“the numinous communication”(gantong) by the Buddhist monks at the time, using religious travel writing to interpret it. This article explains the religious experience of travel and numinous communication in the early Tang, explores the narrative sequences in the Gantong chapter, and analyses the choice and ordering of material by Daoshi. It studies the connection between sacred and historical space as embodied in notions such as the“Buddhist dharma (fo fa), sacred traces (shengji) and upholding the faith (zhu chi),”and discusses Daoshi’s interpretation of“center”and“periphery”through observations on the psychological and subjective dimensions of space. Finally, it analyzes the specific relation between the space described by the concept of gantong and the development of Chinese Buddhism at the beginning of the Tang dynasty.
