星雲大師《合掌人生》的回憶書寫與生命敘事

《合掌人生》是星雲大師在人間行經八十年的回憶錄，他以一種親切平實的書寫，回憶過去，返身觀照，透過自傳的視角敘述他如何在日常生活與修行生涯中，體證生命。這位宣導人間佛教的尊長，以最真摯的筆觸，講述了人生的因緣、際遇、轉折，從生存、生活到生命，以及心靈的衝突與昇華，展示了他如何將其對客觀生存的關注，逐步推向形而上的精神追求。在對現實的超越中確認生命的意義，完成自我實現。以往對星雲大師作品研究大多停留在弘法或宗教而忽略了文本背後的生命體悟。本文擬從一種「返本探源」的視角來進行論述，立足於生命論的「基礎」對星雲大師《合掌人生》進行探討，論述大師回憶書寫的動機與背景、生命敘事的範疇與層次、本書的創作特色，從中可見其敘述富有真摯性與人間性，並不因作者身為宗教大師的身份而顯得遺世獨立、超塵絕俗，反而因其灌注了對人性的寬容與理解，展現了與人間佛教相符合的生命關懷和生活體證，對讀者來說具有永恆的借鑒意義。

The Life of Master Hsing Yun is a memoir of his eighty years on earth. Written in an intimate and down-to-earth manner, he remembers the past, looks back, and through the lens of autobiography, describes how he has experienced life in his daily life and practice. With the most sincere touch, this venerable preacher of Humanistic Buddhism describes the causes, encounters, and transitions of life, from existence, to life, to life, as well as the conflicts and sublimation of the mind, demonstrating how he gradually pushes his concern for objective existence into metaphysical and spiritual pursuits. In the transcendence of reality, he recognizes the meaning of life and accomplishes self-realization. In the past, most of the studies on Master Hsing Yun's works have focused on the propagation of the Dharma or religion, but neglected the realization of life behind the texts. In this paper, we intend to discuss from the perspective of ''returning to the origin'', and to explore Master Hsing Yun's ''Life with Palms Together'' on the basis of the ''foundation'' of vitalism, discussing the motivation and background of Master Hsing Yun's reminiscences, the scope and level of his life story, and the characteristics of the book's creation, which reveals that his narrative is full of sincerity and humanity, and that he does not appear to be a relic of the world and independent, transcendent, and secular due to the author's status as a religious master. On the contrary, the author's religious master status does not make him appear to be a worldly and independent person, but rather, because of his tolerance and understanding of human nature, he demonstrates a concern for life and a testimony of life that is compatible with Humanistic Buddhism, which is of everlasting reference significance to readers.
