隐喻方法论与佛学“随约成德”理念的构建——易学尚象思维涵摄着《地藏菩萨本愿经》中地狱教化功能的内在本质

Metaphor and the Construction of the Idea of “Abiding by Principles to Attain Virtue”——Thinking Mode of Guiding by Image in Yiology Permeates the Intrinsic Nature of Enlightening Function of the Hell in The Earth Treasure Sutra

佛学思维的中国化改造和演变,成为当代佛学教化功能的主导路向。易学言、象、意合一的流转变化之尚象思维,及其内在所涵摄的具有活态意义的隐喻方式,为佛学理法模式的体系化、合理化架构,提供了极其广阔的拓展空间和方便说法。《地藏菩萨本愿经》中对地狱教化功能的定位和阐释,就是建立在这样的思维方式和理路模式的基础之上,将解脱和自在的本质规约,通过地狱这个概念的系统化演变而架设起来,使得"随约成德"之善与地狱罪苦之恶,相互映衬而又辩证统一,从而突出了善恶一气、心境和合、心可转境的天人合一的自然观思想。

The indigenization and evolution of Buddhist thinking in China has become the prominent path of the con-temporary Buddhism＇ s enlightening function. Thinking by adoring image in the dynamic change of the integrationof words, image, and meaning in Yiology embraces the metaphorical approach in active sense of this thinking＇ s im-manence, which has provided tremendous development space and favorable interpretations for the systematic and ra-tional framework of the thinking mode of Buddhism. Positioning and explaining the enlightening function of hell arejust built upon such thinking mode that is guided by image. In The Earth Treasure Sutra, it views the reach of nir-vana and achievement of freedom as its nature principles which are set up by the systematic evolution of the con-cept Hell. This, ultimately, makes the goodness of ＂abiding by principles to attain virtue＂ and suffering fromhell bring out the best in each other and realize dialectical unity, and thus it will be beneficial to highlight the per-spective of the unity of heaven and human in Yiological view of nature, such as good and evil are united ; what is e-vil edifies what is good; external conditions constantly follows and turns with mind; and so on.
