汉文《大藏经》“阿含部”中的“风”

The "Wind" in AHan Section of Triptaka

《大藏经》是佛教典籍的总称,主要记载佛教教理、戒律、论说,同时,还涉及了不少与自然科学有关的内容。阿含部收录的多部经典中,其中与"风"相关的经文有二十余篇。佛经中的"风"类型多样,特点不一。概而言之,这些"风"涉及到佛家有关世界构成、演化的思想,反映了佛教在自然哲学思想和宗教伦理观念方面的一些特征。通过对这些经典文献的梳理与解读,可以看出佛教象征性与辩证性的思维特征,这些特征随着时间推移而在民族心理上积淀下来,在一定程度上支配着民族思维,推动着佛教的发展以及古印度文明的演进。

Triptaka, which records Buddhist dogmata, commandments, comments and even many substances about natural science, is the general term for the Buddhist classics. AHan section contains 151 scriptures, in which more than 20 scriptures on ＂wind＂ are included. The characters of ＂wind＂ in the scriptures are complex and variety. In a word, there are many Buddhist ideas about the nature of existence and the evolution of the world, meanwhile some features on natural philosophy and religious ethics through the different kinds of ＂wind＂. Through the analysis and interpretation of the classic literature, the early Buddhist symbolism and dialectical thinking features can be found. Moreover, in the course of time, these features gradually get down on the national psychology, partly govern national thinking and promote the development of Buddhism and evolution of ancient civilization in India.
