摘要

拜物質文明與科技發達所賜，人類的生活確實改善許多，然而處在高度壓力的城市生活中，現代人內在的穩定性，那股安定生命的力量卻日益減弱。因此，在EQ概念的出現之際，即引發熱烈的討論風潮，此舉不但喚醒了人們對內在精神的重視，同時也讓人開始觀看自己內在的情緒起伏，並思考如何以正當的方式來排解情緒，來讓自己擁有健康、正向、穩定的心理狀態。有鑑於此，筆者遂想藉由歷史典籍，來探求古人對於情緒控管的智慧。於儒、釋、道經典中反覆推敲後，發現代表六祖惠能大師思想的《六祖大師法寶壇經》確實蘊含了觀省內心，平穩內在之哲理，是以作者即欲以之來尋找安頓人心的可能。其實，近年來禪學已普遍被應用於西方的心理治療，且已有不錯的療效。據臨床研究指出，禪修不但具有減輕壓力、降低焦慮的功效，還具備提高自我覺察能力，加強自我控制能力及促進自我滿意度等效果。因此筆者期待藉由本文的探究，除了能進一步汲取古人的智慧外，更希望能明瞭禪學所以能達到減壓療效的背後學理？最後，更冀望透過此研究能提出有效穩定情緒的實踐方法，以提供在情緒管控上有困擾的人一道良方。

The material progress and scientific development both help human life improves a lot, but also bring high pressure in the daily life which leads inner chaos. That's why people focus on EQ concept nowadays, the warm discussion not only get people's attention but also let people begin to watch one's mood about its rising and falling. And try to find out a proper way to deal with the mood, and to have a steady psychological condition. In this research, I would like to try to find a suitable way of controlling inner mood in the ancient classical Chinese wisdom. At the end, I found that ＂ Fa Bao Tan Jing ＂, a Buddhist Sutra, is very suitable for the topic. The reason of choosing Buddhist classics, it's because Buddhist philosophy not only pays attention to the practical experience of life but also care about the inner feeling very much. And choosing Zen Buddhism, it's because the meditation has already been applied in the western psychotherapy in recent years, and has already turned out good curative effect. According to clinical research, meditation not only lightens patients' pressures, but also helps oneself to be aware, it means to strengthen self- control ability. With this Sutra I hope to find out the reason how meditation can reduce pressure? At the end, expect to be able to offer practical method to set the mind steady which can help the people who is trouble with the emotional problems.
