道與天地人三才的融貫意義

道是宇宙萬有的根源、原理及原動力。道在中華道統文化上是首要及基本的哲學理念。道也被認為是道統思想的第一瑰寶，而德則為其次。道是德的原理及本體，而德是道的表現與應用。道與德是二元合一的，中華文化是以道德為人生的第一要務。在任何時代裏，聖賢皆修道而立德，並以道德為人生事務之尊。道在道統發展過程上，包含著天地人三才。於是，道就被區分為三：天道、地道、人道。在易經繫辭中也提及天道、地道和人道。在文化思想的發展上，聖人教導社群大眾要求得天道之真、人道之善、地道之美。聖人就是真正地集成真、善、美而享有「聖」的人類生活大導師。本研究將以歷代道統文化中的經典為秉用，敘述出道的哲義、天地人三才的義諦，並把道與三才結合，且探討出天道、地道和人道的融貫意義。本人將再就所提及的綜觀意義，來論述出人類的社會責任及人生的當然使命。

Tao is the origin, the principle and the original power of all universal beings. Tao is the firstly and elementarily philosophical concept in the Chinese culture of Tao-succession. Tao is also considered as the first treasure of the cultural thoughts, and Der (Virtue) as the second. Tao is the principle and the substance of Der, and Der is the appearance and the application of Tao. In the Chinese Cuture, Tao and Der are considered as two in one, and morality is considered as the first mission in humam life. In all eras, saints and superior men cultivate the Tao and establish the Der, and they think that morality occupies the first place in all human affairs. Tao includes the three Universal Elements of Heaven, Earth and Man in the developmental processes of Tao-succession. Therefore, Tao is divided into three: Tien Tao (the Heavenly Way), Ti Tao (the Earthly way) and Jen Tao (the Human way). Tien Tao, Ti Tao and Jen Tao are also mentioned in the Appendixes of I-Ching (the Book of Changes). In the development of cultural thoughts, saints teach social people to obtain the truth of Tien Tao, the goodness ot Jen Tao and the beauty of Ti Tao. Truly, saints synthesize truth, goodness and beauty, and enjoy ”sagehood”, they are the great teachers in human life.This research will apply the classical sayings of the Tao-succession culture through the ages to narrate the philosophical meaning, the significance of the Three Universal Elements of Tien, Ti and Jen, and combine Tao and The Three Universal Elements, and investigate the comprehensive significance of Tien Tao, Ti Tao and Jen Tao. Furthermore, I shall apply the mentioned comprehensive significance to expound the social responsibility of humankind and the necessary mission of human life.
