论禅宗思想的生态诠释

Ecological Interpretation of the Thought of Chan Sect

禅宗思想的生态诠释,首先必须明确禅宗所关注的是人的解脱,而不是生态环境。禅宗与生态哲学的互动必须在一个基点上才是可能的:所试图解决的问题都是人所遭遇的"苦",在这个基点上,禅宗追求的解脱与生态哲学关注的自然相联系;探讨作为禅宗思想生态诠释的核心范畴的"无情"及"无情有性""无情说法"命题的意义,显示在"空"的基础上实现的诸法平等;随之而来的是对泛神论的质疑和对杀生行为的问难。禅宗通过"无情"范畴及其命题,以及"无情"意象,所要揭示的意义是相同的:通过"空"而平等。生态哲学希望达到的人与自然的和谐应该借鉴禅宗"空"的平等,并搁置其所含有的宗教性,从"认识人的问题与自然的问题的平等"出发,进而实现人与自然的和谐。

To interpret the thought of Chan Sect from the perspective of ecology,it should make certain that Chan Sect concerns about moksa instead of ecological environment.To make Chan Sect interact with each other,it is necessary to focus on one the point:all the issues concerned are related with man's suffering.Onthis point,Moksa pursued by Chan Sect is connected with nature cared by ecological philosophy.The study of the core category of heartlessness of Chan Sect from the perspective of ecology and the research into the meaning of the propositions of heartlessness with Buddha nature and heartlessness showing truth indicate that it is possible to realize equality based on nonexistence.Then the questioning on Pantheism and the act of killing animals are shown.The meaning revealed by Chan Sect through the category of heartlessness and its propositions and the image of heartlessness is the same:equality through non-existence.Therefore,it is necessary for ecological philosophy to learn from the idea of non-existence equality advocated by Chan Sect to realized man-nature harmony.Also,it is important to let the religious feature of Chan Sect alone.Hence,it is possible to begin with understanding man's problem and nature's problem in a equal way to realize mannature harmony.
