探討青少年正念教育與佛學義理的關聯性--以MindUP課程為主

正念教育源於傳統佛教修習，囿於西方文化的世界觀與政教分離的立場，以現代科學與當代語境取替了佛法教義，使得佛學義理隱而未顯。本論文嘗試從佛教世間法的觀點，採用MindUP正念教育課程，以教科書文本分析法探討青少年正念教育與佛學義理的關聯性。探究的意義，在於了解青少年正念教育的新創技法，以及看出佛法既有的豐富資源如何地被應用與呈現。就MindUP正念教育與佛學義理關聯性之探究，以阿毗達摩而言，有心路過程與心所的作用。佛典理論基礎涉及了念住、七覺分、如理作意、六內外入處、五蘊、自利利他的教說、四梵住、四聖諦、感恩觀、五蓋、四攝法、廣惠施。修習方法與四念住各有些涉及。由相互之關聯可以說，佛教義理之於現代正念教育，可為一有力哲學理論的支撐；而當代正念教育也為青少年體會佛學精髓與提升良好生活品質，另闢蹊徑。

Owing to the culture, and the separation of politics and religion in the Western world, the Buddhist doctrine is almost invisible in the modern mindfulness education, and was replaced by the modern science and vocabulary, although the mindfulness training and education were actually originated from Buddhist doctrine. This thesis intends to explore the correlations between teen’s mindfulness training/education and Buddhist doctrine, using MindUP program, from the view point of Buddhist worldly rules and textbook analysis approaches. The purpose of this exploration is to elaborate these correlations to further understand the technical advancement and innovation of modern teen’s mindfulness education as well as to reveal the abundant resources of Buddhism, and how they were applied and shown. The correlations between MindUP mindfulness education and Buddhist doctrine, can be discussed in terms of the theory of consciousness stream and mental factor showed in Abhidhamma. The relevant canonical Buddhist doctrines involves satipaṭṭhāna, the seven enlightenment factors, careful attention, six bases, five aggregates, benefiting oneself and others, four immeasurables, four noble truths, gratitude, five hindrances, four ways of magnetizing, generosity, and the four foundations of mindfulness. From the mutual correlation, we would conclude that Buddhist doctrine can be a strong philosophical theory base for the modern mindfulness education; while the modern mindfulness training also provides a different approach for the Teens to experience the essence of Dharma and to improve a good quality of life.
