守望良心——净慧法师生活禅的道德价值

The Moral Value of Conscience——study on the Life Zen of Master Jing-hui

当代中国出现了严重的道德冷漠问题和道德滑坡现象。净慧法师晚年以佛理阐释良心,为当代中国道德建设开出了一济药方。他以佛性、佛心、本心、真心、大悲心来阐释良心,重塑了良心的崇高品格;以佛理守望良心,从佛教信仰论、因果论和五戒十善的规则来帮助人们守住良心;以良心净化社会,将信仰、因果、良心、道德融入人们的心中,有助于实现社会的净化和心灵的安顿。净慧法师的良心论超越了儒家良心理论的范围,他以佛学理论激活了儒家良心理论,为发挥佛教的道德功能提供坚实的理论基础。

Contemporary China appeared the serious moral indifference and moral decline phenomenon.In his old age,master Jing-hui studied the moral conscience,which was used to solve the moral problems in China.Watching the conscience from the theory of belief in Buddhism,His Life Zen reshaped the conscience of the noble character.He used Buddha theory and rules to help people hold the conscience;to clean up the social conscience.Master Jing-hui’s Life Zen surpassed the scope of the Confucian theory of conscience,and developed the social value of the moral theory of Buddhism.
