概要

本课程旨在介绍佛教哲学中的心,探讨其样貌、组成、本质与运作方式,并深入解析如何疗愈其错误功能。课程首先将涵盖佛教的基础教义,包括无我、无常、十二缘起和业论,这些内核概念为理解心的运作提供了必要的背景知识。在此基础上,课程将进一步介绍瑜伽唯识学派对心的分析,特别是其对心的运作机制进行探讨,尤其聚焦于负面心理状态的疗愈,这包括对心、心所有法以及烦恼心所对治的详细解析。佛教的心理分析以解脱为取向,探究自他二元分别的习惯所生成之烦恼,如情绪、错误态度等,并提出以平等心、智能、正确抉择力的生起,使心趋向无分别且自在的认知模式。
This course aims to introduce the concept of the mind in Buddhist philosophy, exploring its appearance, composition, nature, and functioning, as well as providing an in-depth analysis of how to heal its dysfunctional aspects. The course will first cover the foundational doctrines of Buddhism, including the concepts of no-self, impermanence, dependent origination, and karma theory. These core principles provide the necessary background for understanding the mind's workings. Building on this foundation, the course will further introduce the Yogācāra school's analysis of the mind, with a particular focus on its operational mechanisms and, especially, the healing of negative psychological states. This includes a detailed examination of the mind, mental factors, and the remedies for afflictive mental states. Buddhist psychological analysis is oriented toward liberation, investigating the afflictions generated by habitual self-other duality, such as emotions and incorrect attitudes. It proposes the cultivation of equanimity, wisdom, and correct decision-making to guide the mind towards a non-discriminative and liberated mode of cognition.
