《坛经》的出世思想

The Supramundane Thought in Tan Sutra

《坛经》中的出世思想与印度大乘佛经的出世思想可谓一脉相承,强调世间与出世间的一如不二,其立足点在于缘起性空理论。这种出世思想也往往被人们所误解,出世被混淆为出家、往生极乐等。为了达到出世的目的,《坛经》强调"直了"此心,这是其出世实践的关键。

The supramundane thought in Tan Sutra and Indian Mahayana sutras may be said to come down in one continuous line.It emphasizes the world and supramundane are only one.It stands on the point of the theory of the dependent origination and the emptiness of nature.This kind of supramundane thought is also often misunderstood by people.Supramundane is confused for leaving home,being reborn in paradise and so on.In order to achieve the purpose of supramundane Tan Sutra stresses going straight to the heart.And this is the key of supramundane practice.
