佛教禪修傳統研究視野與思想交流,是近年來世界佛教學術研究的重要新趨勢,法鼓文理學院於二○一四年十月舉辦「佛教禪修傳統:比較與對話」國際研討會,邀請德國、比利時、義大利、美國、印度、日本、臺灣等地學者,就不同面向深入探討佛教禪修議題。
本論文集精選此次國際研討會中七篇論文,內容涵蓋早期佛教文獻對第二禪的探討、南北大眾部對於禪修中定心與頓悟的比較、禪修中的性格分類、印度與中國佛教教義與禪修經驗的比較、觀經變相圖的比較研究、看話禪的研究,以及中國禪宗詩偈於生命教育之應用初探。
藉由傳統與現代議題對談,呈現多元面貌的理論與實踐方式,提供禪修研究新的觀點。

雪竇重顯(980-1052)為北宋時期禪宗雲門派下重要禪師,透過雪竇七集的研究,我們可得知雪竇以多元的開堂、上堂、示眾、小參、晚參、勘辯、拈古、室中舉古、代別和頌古等方式教育其弟子。藉由這些方式,雪竇門人或可直接聽到雪竇說法,習知禪宗典籍中禪師與僧人或居士之對答,或是藉由發問而親自接受到雪竇的回應。這種注重長老住持的引導,以及和弟子的互動模式,是宋代禪門修行所發展出來的特別教育方式。
此外,本書認為雪竇七集中雪竇提舉古則的方式,削弱了記傳體中屬於特定時空人物的資訊,或是禪師的叮嚀囑咐說法後,形成了具有特殊文字效果的古則公案文體。從修禪的角度來說,這種經過修改的古則公案,常戛然而止於一句頗具震撼力的結語,使得這種古則公案,成為非常合適參究的內容。

This is the second volume of proceedings of the ?gama seminars convened by the ?gama Research Group at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (formerly Dharma Drum Buddhist College). On this occasion, the ?gama Research Group met to discuss the early collections of long discourses transmitted by the different Buddhist schools. Thanks to the discovery and ongoing publication of the incomplete Sanskrit D?rgha-?gama manuscript from Gilgit, three different versions of the Collection of Long Discourses are now available for comparative study: the Pali D?gha-nik?ya transmitted within the Therav?da tradition, the just-mentioned D?rgha-?gama in Sanskrit, identified as Sarv?stiv?da or M?lasarv?stiv?da, and the Chinese translation of an Indic D?rgha-?gama (長阿含經), generally considered to be affiliated with the Dharmaguptakas. The six papers collected here focus on research on these various incarnations of the collections of long discourses in comparative perspective.
