天台智者关于“恶”的思想及其现实意义

The Sophist of Tiantai's Thought on "Evil" and Its Practical Significance

天台智者大师基于大乘佛教立场,提出性具善恶说,把传统上对善恶问题的讨论引向深入。他把恶分为人心先验本具的形上之恶和障碍心灵自由的现实、形下之恶,并提出转化、消除形下之恶的具体方法。探讨这一命题,不仅有学术价值,而且对于社会伦理建设与个人心灵净化也具有现实意义。

Based on the Mahayana Buddhism position, Tiantaizhizhe put forward a kind and evil being born thought which resulted a depth discussion. He divided ＂evil＂ into the evil priori to people＇s minds and the evil which obstacles on the spiritual freedom, and provided practical ways to transform. Exploring this proposition results not only the academic value, but also have practical significance on the building of social ethics and personal spiritual purification.
