| 摘要: | 探討生死哲學可從多個角度來剖析，釐清這嚴肅問題。面對生死恐會造成身心重大衝擊，但可視為扭轉身心轉變的契機。要達到了透此議題，最關鍵是先要有正確的信念，在正確的信念指引下，也許人不一定要等到真正面臨死亡衝擊的時候，才懂得珍惜。法鼓山聖嚴法師敎誨：「人生無常有生有滅，把握當下福慧雙修」。新時代賽斯思想也強調活在當下，當下就是威力之點。
從古自今哲學對生死問題的關心未曾間斷，對生死深層的關懷不曾改變，隨著時代的環境與生活條件不同，而產生出不一樣的關懷方向。本文以賽斯資料和高靈的訊息為核心，擴大理論的研究範疇，除了加深對於生命意義的探索領域之外，更加入其他不同角度，例如高靈對生命起源、生命意義與輪迴的觀點議題等等，使得生命哲學與生死關懷走向更豐富廣闊的面向。
現代生死哲學觀點強調活著的時候，認識自己、了解自己，好好的活出意義。面對死亡時，反對以消極態度漠視死亡、迴避死亡，贊同以積極學習心態直接面對，強調「死在生中，生在死中」，死亡不只是單純信仰、宗教和理性面向，應吸納心理、靈性、本能等議題。死亡本質是無可替代性，面對肉體終將毀壞與生命之有限性，如何不畏不懼的活出每一個燦爛的日子，是一門人生功課。
We can explore and clarify the serious issue of life and death from a philosophical perspective. It is necessary to directly face the fact that death can cause significant physical and mental impact on certain individuals. However, it can also be an opportunity to reverse their transformations in both body and mind. To thoroughly understand the theme of life and death, the most crucial point is to have correct beliefs. With the guidance of the correct beliefs, perhaps people don't have to wait until they actually meet the impact of death before they realize the importance of cherishing life. Master Shengyen from Dharma Drum Mountain taught people: "Life is impermanent, with birth and death; grasp the present moment to cultivate both blessings and wisdom." Seth thought of New Age also emphasizes that people should live in the present moment, as the present moment holds great power.
Philosophy has never ceased paying close attention to the issue of life and death since ancient times, and its deep concern for life and death has persisted. With the rapid transformation of the times, the living environment and life conditions have changed, and the orientation of concern has altered accordingly. This dissertation takes Seth Material and the messages from the Spirit as the core to expand the scope of theoretical research. In addition to deepening the exploration of the meaning of life, it incorporates different perspectives, such as the viewpoints of Seth the Spirit on the topics of the origin and the meaning of life and reincarnation. All of these enrich and broaden the dimensions of philosophical inquiry into the concern for life and death.
Modern philosophy of life and death lays stress on the significance of selfawareness and self-understanding while being alive, and leading to a meaningful and fulfilling life. When facing death, it is opposed to adopting a passive attitude of disregarding or avoiding death. Instead, it advocates confronting death directly with a proactive learning mindset, and highlights the concept of "dying within life and living within death." Death is not merely a matter of belief, religion or rationality, but should incorporate the aspects of psychology, spirituality and instinct. The essence of death is irreplaceable. While facing the inevitable decay of the body and the finiteness of life, how to live every brilliant day without fear or hesitation becomes people’s lifelong lesson. |
