《大藏經》簡史

…》、《你可以更慈悲:菩薩三十七種修行之道》。他目前正在翻譯米龐仁波切對彌勒─無著菩薩的寶性論所做的釋論。 資料來源: http://www.mindandlife.org/ research-initiatives/sri/sri_faculty   與約翰 ∙康提及彼得 ∙史基伶對談: 《大藏經》簡史   第一部份 第二部份 問:《大藏經》或英文的「buddhist canons」指的是什麼? 約翰: 「Canon正典」這個字不是那麼…佛教傳統上其實並沒有一個真正等同的字眼。我想,在梵文裡意思相同的字,我們會說是「Buddhavacana」,意思是佛的言教、佛的話語。「Canon正典」這個字眼其實是來自西方,通常是指一套獨立不變的經典,是神賜予人類的啟示,並在該傳統中被認為是神聖並具有絕對的權威。在佛教裡,就某方面而言,我們也會特別重視一些特定的佛典。 那在佛教中指的是哪些經典? 我們通常會將之分為佛陀親口宣說的言教,或是佛弟子在佛陀的要求或啟發之下在佛陀面前所說之法。這些都被稱為「佛陀言教」。這在藏文佛典裡,被歸類為《甘珠爾》(即:佛說部 / 教敕譯典)。 我們也傾向於將一些大學者、大成就者所寫的「論」納入在「Canon正典」的概念裡。這些論是在解釋、釐清和詳述佛陀的教導。在此情況下,我們通常只把印度論師的著作視為經典。 當然,在不同的文化裡,也有其他大學者和成就者及佛法的追隨者,用他們熟悉的語言寫成論著,其中包含藏文、漢文、泰文、緬甸文、蒙古文,及其他的語文都有。當然,那些作品也被視為經典,但不能算在「正典」的類別裡。 但「正典」的確是一個西方的概念。在藏傳佛教裡,我們是用《甘珠爾》(佛經部 / 教敕譯典)和《丹珠爾》(論述部 / 論述譯典)來區分。在漢傳佛教,這些經典就收納在《大正藏》(Taisho)中,多數也稱作經、律、論三藏或《大藏經》。在藏文《大藏經》裡我們也有類似的概念。當然,在著名的巴利文《大藏經》裡,或多或少也是把經典分為這三藏。 問:佛教的《大藏經》和其他宗教正典比較起來如何? 約翰: 首先,《大藏經》在數量上遠遠大於西方的正典,如聖經、可蘭經,和摩西五書。第二個區別在於《大藏經》不一定是獨立不變的。換句話說,以藏文《大藏經》為例,有些以前沒有被納入《大藏經》,但後來被發現而且被認為是正統的佛典,直到15、16世紀仍被納入《大藏經》內。數量不是很多,但還是有零星加入一部分經典。所以佛教《大藏經》並非封閉不變的。…
