摘要

這篇論文旨在論述研討會關於天人合一的概念的討論。它將批判性地檢視和道家和基督宗教的「神化」有關的各種觀念，並且嘗試建立用以比較這些宗教哲學的框架。它特別著眼於基督宗教傳統裡的「變容」概念，也就是宗教人物在經歷宗教轉化時的顯聖。這個概念會用以和道家的「存神」對比，修道之人藉由內在身體各部位和神真合一的存神而轉化其身體。

This paper aims to contribute to the symposium's discussion of the concept of attaining a unity between human beings and heaven. It will do so by critically examining ideas related to Divinisation in Daoism and Christianity, and aim towards establishing a framework for comparing these religious philosophies. In particular the paper will focus on the concept of transfiguration in the Christian tradition, in which religious figures attain a divine appearance as they undergo religious transformation. This concept will be contrasted with Daoist ideas of visualization 存神 in which adepts transform their bodies through the visualization of a unity between their inner bodies and gods.
