权威在何处——拉比犹太教与佛教禅宗人神(佛)关系的比较解读

Where Is the Authority?—A Comparison of Rabbinic Judaism and Zen Buddhism in Relationship Between God(Buddha)and Human

拉比约书亚与文喜禅师在对待神(佛)态度上的相似性为拉比犹太教和禅宗之间的宗教对话搭建了桥梁。拉比犹太教和禅宗都是高扬"人"的宗教,在人神关系上极力强调人的价值,从而使神(佛)作为信仰权威的色彩不断淡化,两者具有很强的可比性。然而,两者在本质的人神(佛)关系中存在差异,拉比犹太教依然为神保留绝对至上的位置,通过语言逻辑无限趋近于上帝之道;而禅宗将人与佛的地位拉平,不仅消解佛、菩萨之无上权威,而且消解人佛之间的差异和距离,剔除了语言逻辑的作用。宗教对话的意义在于通过交流实现彼此之间的深刻理解,而以相似性为开端进而挖掘两种宗教的本质区别这一过程,有效地增进了彼此之间的理解,可以作为宗教对话的理想模式。

The similar attitudes toward religion authority of Joshua and Wen Xi build a bridge of religious dialogue between Rabbinic Judaism and Zen Buddhism.Both of the religions focus on human being,trying to highlight the value of people,and the authority of belief in God is less,so that they have strong comparability.Significance of religious dialogue lies in the deep understanding between each other.The comparison of similarity is the earliest forms of dialogue,based on the similarity to communicate,then dig out the essential difference between two kinds of religion in the process so as to achieve understanding between each other.In the thesis,the similarity comparison is the breakthrough of Inter-Religious Dialogue,then point to further understand the essential differences between Rabbinic Judaism and Zen Buddhism.The paper aims to realize the religious dialogue in the ideal form.
