摘要

禪宗主張「教外別傳，不立文字，直指本心，見性成佛」的頓悟之說，雖然以「不立文字」為旨，卻並非捨棄文字不用，而是不取不捨文字，不執著於文字。《六祖壇經》匯集了惠能的禪法智慧和其言簡意賅的語言藝術，「直指本心，見性成佛」的見性、頓悟之說及不執著於對立二端偏見的三十六對法等思想，讓《壇經》成為現代人照拂心靈的養生心法與最佳導引寶典，全書反映出惠能卓絕之人格、胸襟與思想，及高妙的禪學藝術，深具啟發及探究的價值。本文擬就《壇經》的思想內容予以分述，並試從《壇經》的語言智慧及經典安頓身心的治療來探討《六祖壇經》獨特的語言哲思所發揮的治療功效和正向的能量，明瞭禪法的生活化與實踐性，以及中國傳統經典治療學對現代人身心安頓所帶來的正向效益與普世的精神及價值。

Although the idea of ＂Sudden Enlightenment＂ used by the Zen sect of Buddhism highlights 'a special transmission outside scriptures, no dependence upon words, pointing directly to the original mind, seeing into one's true nature to attain Buddhahood', it advocates not abandonment but detachment of words. The Dharmic Treasure Altar-Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch (the Altar-Sutra) assembles not only the meditation techniques and the concise and comprehensive discourses of Huineng the Sixth Patriarch, but also other thoughts including ＂Seeing One's Nature＂, ＂Sudden Enlightenment＂ and the ＂Technique of 36 Pairs＂, etc. The book has become the best guidance for modern people regarding their inner cultivation and discipline as it reflects the outstanding personality, enlightened views, insights and wisdom of Huineng and hence is worthy of profound exploration. In light of the linguistic wisdom and the canon settlement of the Altar-Sutrat, this paper aims to explore its unique linguistic philosophy and the therapeutic applications, to understand how its meditation techniques have been practically applied to daily lives, and to appreciate the positive influence and the universal value that has been introduced by traditional Chinese canon therapy to help modern people to settle down their body and mind.
