司马承祯的生平及其修道思想

The Life story of Sima Chengzhen and His Thought of Cultivation

本文通过对司马承祯的代表作《坐忘论》和《天隐子》的剖析 ,阐释了他的修道思想。认为 :《坐忘论》所说的“安心坐忘”修炼方法 ,其中心思想是守静去欲 ;《天隐子》的中心思想是论述长生成仙的可能和怎样长生成仙。二文互为表里 ,有不少一致之处。

This thesis elucidated Sima Chengzhen' thought of cultivation through analysis of his famous On Sitting in Oblivion and Heavenly Hermit. The cultivating way of 'sitting in oblivion with pacified mind' in On Sitting in Oblivion focuses on keeping tranquility and eliminating desires. Heavenly Hermit focuses on the possibility of immortality and way to attain immortality. Complementing each other, the two have much in common.
