摘要: | 本論文的研究目的是:一、探討感應經驗與宗教信仰之關係。二、探討疾病如何因為佛教信仰的力量得到療癒或明顯改善。三、探討感應經驗發生前後,研究參與者對生死態度是否改變及其內容。 本研究文獻以「感應」、「靈驗」關鍵字查詢華人地區中文文獻資料(含台灣及中國),相關期刊、博碩士論文,以及學術書籍、民間書籍。擷取其中內容有關「疾病」部分作參考。針對疾病感應的研究,似乎付諸闕如。因此更凸顯本研究探討疾病如何因為佛教信仰的力量,得到療癒或明顯改善之重要性。 研究方法為質性研究的深入訪談法,以六位經由正統醫學診斷出為乳癌、卵巢癌、血管瘤、血癌、泌乳激素瘤(腦瘤)、白斑症之患者為研究參與者。這些案例在正統醫學無法治癒之情況下,因為佛教信仰力量得到療癒及明顯的改善。其中乳癌、血管瘤、泌乳激素瘤(腦瘤)、白斑症得到療癒,卵巢癌、血癌得到明顯改善。本文並附上消失前和消失後之檢驗單為參考。 依據研究分析結論:療癒的歷程因人而異,各有各的因緣條件,沒有一定的公式,但是療癒的關鍵卻有一些共同的元素。身邊的善因緣有益於疾病的療癒,例如家人的陪伴,以及療癒的過程顯示身邊的助緣非常重要,但是最重要的還是要看本人對信仰的信心夠不夠堅定?是否能夠與佛菩薩相應?再者就是要看個人的福德因緣而定。 歷經生命轉化之後,對於生命態度的轉變歸納如下:一、生命省思的覺察力。二、深信因果的包容心。三、正面積極的思惟(心念的力量)。四、眾緣和合以善待人。五、對生命熱忱與樂觀。六、慈悲為懷的利他胸襟。 這幾個案例因為透過佛教信仰的力量,讓疾病得以療癒或明顯改善後,對生命更加珍惜,並且充滿熱忱、無私的關懷別人,協助照顧遇到生命挫折的人。因此本研究亦可作為生命教育的參考教材。 The purpose of this thesis is to (1) Investigate the relationship between religion and telepathy experience. (2) Investigate how were diseases being healed or improved significantly due to the power of Buddhism faith. (3) Investigate the changes and contents of research subjects’ attitude towards life and death during pre and post telepathy experience. This thesis utilized ‘telepathy’, ‘efficacious’ as keyword to search for literatures in the Chinese community (including Taiwan and China), such as PhD thesis, Master’s thesis, periodicals, journals, and folklore. The content of ‘disease’ was captured as reference. The contribution of this thesis was prominent in citing evidence of the power of Buddhism faith in healing or improving disease significantly, due to the shortage of research done on the subject of disease and telepathy experiences. The in-depth interviews were utilized as qualitative research method, involving 6 individuals diagnosed by the orthodox Medicine for having breast cancer, ovarian cancer, Hemangioma, Leukemia, brain tumor, and white spot disease. Despite the fact that orthodox Medicine was unable to cure these cases, the Buddhism faith managed to heal and improve them significantly. Individuals with breast cancer, Hemangioma, brain tumor, and white spot disease were recovered; whereas individuals with ovarian cancer and Leukemia have seen significant improvement. Referring to the research and analysis conclusion: The healing experiences varied in each individual but do share some similar key elements, with karma conditions of their own that didn’t follow a rigid formula. Good karma around the individuals was beneficial to the healing process, such as accompaniment by the family. The aiding karma from people around was vital to the healing process, but what is more important is whether the individual possessed a strong faith to the religion, whether he or she could correspond with the Buddha, and lastly, determined by the blessings and karma of the individual. The meanings of life transformation course are (1) Be life-reflective. (2) Generous heart with strong belief in karma. (3) Positive mindset. (4) Be good nature and do good deeds (5) Enthusiastic and optimistic towards life. (6) Compassionately altruistic. After the diseases being healed and gaining significant improvement due to the Buddhism faith, the subjects of these few cases became more grateful of live, and offered passionate, selfless care to people who faced setback in their lives. Hence, this research could serve as reference of Life Education as well. |
