摘要

郭漢崇是花蓮慈濟醫院的醫師，他在「佛教醫院」的執業生涯裡，接觸信仰、接近苦難，並由苦難中更見證信仰。從其生命敘說，可察見慈濟醫療的出發／初發心，來自證嚴法師的慈悲與為眾生的大愛、來自宗教情操「以病人為中心」的理念；故而身為醫師的立足點，不僅是治療的專業而已，更是對「人」的全心照護及關懷，據此，醫師的視野、心靈亦隨之寬闊而柔軟。是故，由郭漢崇醫師心路歷程的轉化、漸次深刻，從專業醫師成為「人醫」，可看到其行醫所體現的是另一種「戒定慧」的實踐，亦可視為行菩薩道的過程。

Dr. Hann-Chorng Kuo is a surgeon at Tzu-Chi Hospital in Hualien.In his career in a Buddhist hospital, Kuo developed a religious faith, had close encounters with people's sufferings,and strengthened his faith through people's sufferings. Kuo's life narrative gives us an insight into the Tzu-Chi medical system's founding intentions, which are rooted in Master Cheng Yen's compassion and her universal love for all life forms, as well as the philosophy of Patient Centricity. Therefore, being a doctor is not just about equipping with professional skills in medical treatment but also about caring for people to the fullest extent. And by doing so, a doctor will broaden his horizons and soften his heart. From the transformation of Dr. Hann-Chorng Kuo: from being a conventional surgeon to being a "medical practitioner of the people", we can see that his medical practices not only manifest a different kind of implementation of "Discipline, Meditation, and Wisdom" but also can be viewed as a midway on the bodhisattva path.
