摘要

面對人生各種挫折苦難，靈性平安是維繫生命力的泉源。靈性平安來自於堅定的生命信仰或信念。大部分人的生命信仰來自宗教。佛教的生命觀是苦受觀。從受苦的意義來看一生中最重要的使命在於學習苦之解脫。
本文採個案研究法，以三個受到佛法生命觀啟發，產生生命力的個案，呈現他們分別對於長輩（母親）、晚輩（子女）、平輩（姊姊）的生命教育。並從病人與家屬的成長經驗中看到，平常重視生死智慧的學習，能瞭解每一種受苦都有其意義，比較容易找得到從痛苦中脫困、學習成長的方法。解脫之道在於：從感應人生是苦培養慈悲心，產生信願行，依持六度法門，長養內在力量及安身立命的佛法智慧。

When facing various suffering sensation in one's life, spiritual peace is the source to maintain one's vitality. Spiritual peace comes from firm belief or faith, and for most people, their firm belief comes from religion. We used case studies to present three terminal cancer patients with their family members taken care by clinical Buddhist chaplains. Suffering theory is Buddhist life perspective. One's most important mission is to learn Buddhist life perspective to free oneself from suffering. The way to free oneself is to enlighten various distresses and bring up one's faith and kindness, to vow and act out ṣix-pāramitā, and to develop the inner power, settle down and get on with one's pursuit as Buddha's teachings.
