中文摘要 | 本文探討宗教療癒過程中情感的作用,以及其與教義理念的互動關係。從個案故事、田野觀察、神經科學研究和儒家古文獻分析指出,在生命轉化的療癒過程中,一般以情感為最初進路,理念為輔,實踐為中介。情感是無形的感受,先於理念的言語概念表述,理念需要打動情感方有說服力。本文資料所呈現的情感樣貌多元,大抵反映人對救贖解脫的渴盼,這是各宗教的共同關懷,是宗教療癒人心之處。全文探究情感在宗教經驗中的內涵和轉變,例如:從負面轉為正面,發展愛與慈悲的情懷,契應宗教的最終理念。原先紛雜的世俗情感轉換為宗教情感,轉換的機制在於「踐行」。第一部份敘説兩位學者的「轉化式療癒」案例,第二部份呈現慈濟社群的情感面向,第三部份討論現代人對自身情感需求滿足的重視,團體或社群提供人情支持系統,宗教領袖的魅力,以及社會參與的信仰實踐,是宗教療癒的契機,「情」與「理」相融互證。此中原因及過程已通過神經科學提供有力證據,也呼應儒家古竹簡所指人心教化的順序,即「道始於情,終者近義」。 |
英文摘要 | This paper explores how feelings and emotions affect religious healing and interact with religious reason. Using case study, participant observation, neuro-scientific explanation, and ancient Confucian texts, the paper points out that in the transformative process of religious healing, feelings and emotions (affects) generally take the first step. Affects are complemented by religious reason and consolidated by practice. Affects are immanent and shapeless and they occur prior to reason which is represented by language and concept. To be persuasive, ideas must move the listeners’ feeling and emotion. Multifarious affects are presented in the paper and on the whole they reflect peoples’ desire and hope for salvation. Fulfilling such desires is a concern common to all religions as well as the means and ends of religious healing. This paper investigates the characteristics and changes of affects in religious experiences, as manifest in examples of negative affects turning into positive ones, of developing sentiments of love and compassion, and of harnessing the self to line up with the ultimate reason of religion. "Praxis" is the mechanism that underlies the transformation of peoples’ chaotic secular affects into religious affects. Various cases of "transformative healing" demonstrate this mechanism, as described in Part One of the paper about the lives of two scholars and, in Part Two about the affective aspects of a community of Buddhist volunteers belonging to the Tzu Chi Foundation. In Part Three several intervening factors favorable to religious healing are discussed, including the emphasis that modern people put on their personal affective needs, the emotional support system among members of an organization or in a social group, charisma of religious leaders, and practice of faith through social participation. It is argued that "affect" and "reason" are compatible to and mutually supportive of each other. Strong evidence on the causes and processes of transformation has come from neuroscience. Together with data from case and field studies, the findings echo an ancient Confucian bamboo text in regard to the sequence of edification to transform the human mind. The cited text reads, "the Dao (Way) begins with affection and aims to approach Reason forever more." |
