摘要

中國佛教從中古至今一直存在重般若輕方便的傾向，導致在佛學研究和宗教實踐兩方面出現一系列問題。當代中國佛教仍在轉型途中，以人間佛教為代表的漢傳佛教發展如火如荼，「回歸佛陀本懷」成為時代命題。《佛典漢譯、理解與詮釋研究—以善巧方便一系概念思想為中心》從理論層面對這一問題作出回應，該書梳理佛教思想發展史，立足於經文全面考察「善巧方便」思想及中國人的詮釋，提出初期大乘經典實際建構了般若與方便「不即不離、不一不二、平衡開發、辯證彰顯」的菩薩智慧學系統，指出善巧方便思想在大乘理論體系中的連貫性和重要性。回歸佛陀的本懷首先是明確佛陀的教化理念，該書為中國佛教的發展提供一個建設性的方向。

From ancient times to the present, teachings of Chinese Buddhism are inclined to emphasize prajñā and focus less on expedient means. This has raised circuitous discussions in the areas of Buddhist research and religious practice. Contemporary Chinese Buddhism is in the midst of transformation, typified by Humanistic Buddhism, and the concept of ＂returning to the Buddha's original intents＂ has become popular in this era. The book, provisionally translated as Research of the Translation, Comprehension, and Interpretation of Buddhist Scriptures: On the Concepts of Skillful and Expedient Means, addresses these issues from a theoretical aspect by analyzing the historical development of Buddhist philosophy. Based on thorough investigation of the Buddhist texts regarding the ideology of ＂expedient means＂ and Chinese interpretations thereof, it proposes that early Mahayana Buddhist scriptures constructed a theoretical model for the prajñā training of a bodhisattva, correlating both prajñā and expedient means with the notion that they are ＂neither inseparable nor separable, neither non-dual nor dual, well balanced in development, and serve as dialectical embodiments of each other.＂ From this framework of prajñā training, the coherence and significance of ＂expedient means＂ are identified within the theoretical system of Mahayana Buddhism. The first step in returning to the Buddha's original intents is through understanding the teaching principles of the Buddha. This publication provides a constructive direction for the development of Chinese Buddhism.
