所有宗教本质上都是基于言语和思想的传统。从这个意义上说,宗教所承认的灵性是以言语和概念为中介的灵性。然而,还有一种灵性有意识地拒绝言语或想法:“看到灵性”,而不是思考(或相信)灵性。本书旨在探索和阐明这种视觉灵性。引言部分提出了思心与见心的区别,首先探讨了艾克哈特大师的“空性灵魂”教义,以及《金刚经》和龙树菩萨的《中观偈》所提出的大乘空性教义,最后探讨了黄渤禅师的心传法。贯穿始终的重点是对灵性的呈现和解释,将灵性视为摆脱所有概念的对当下的直接意识。讨论围绕特定的文本,重点关注视觉思维的运作,而​​不是通过抽象或形而上学的解释。作者从思维心与见心之间的区别来阐释空性,同样,他将艾克哈特大师与黄渤的并置——他们的传统、时间和空间都相去甚远——都是独一无二的,对宗教和哲学学术做出了重大贡献。此外,该书还对黄渤佛法开示的主要部分进行了新译本,这是自 1958 年以来的首次英文译本。
All religions are by nature traditions based on words and ideas. In this respect, spirituality recognised in religion is spirituality mediated by words and concepts. However, there is also a spirituality that consciously rejects words or ideas: "seeing spirituality", as opposed to thinking (or believing) spirituality. This book sets out to explore and elucidate this seeing spirituality. The Introduction presents a distinction between the thinking mind and the seeing mind, exploring seeing spirituality first in Meister Eckhart's teaching of "empty soul", in the Mahayana teaching of sunyata (emptiness) as presented in the Diamond Sutra and Nagarjuna's Verses on the Middle Way, and, finally, in the Zen master Huang Bo's Transmission of Mind. The focus throughout is on the presentation and explanation of seeing spirituality as immediate awareness of the present free of all concepts. Discussion centres around specific texts, focusing on the working of the seeing mind, rather than through abstract or metaphysical explanation. The author's elucidation of sunyata in terms of the distinction between the thinking mind and the seeing mind, and likewise his juxtaposition of Meister Eckhart and Huang Bo -- far apart in their traditions, as they are in time and space -- is unique and a major contribution to religious and philosophical scholarship. In addition, the work contains a new translation of major sections of Huang Bo's Dharma talks, the first in English since 1958.
