中文摘要

就《華嚴經》而論,人人都以義理的深廣加以解讀與詮釋,卻常忽略其文學的充份表達與思維所暢發出來的義理深廣度--亦即所謂理事無礙及事事無礙的甚深內蘊。本品「命意」---敘初發心功德之難以思議,本品開首即借天帝與法慧菩薩的對話,故其「謀篇」屬「對照寫法」,可謂巧譬善喻了。其後「佈局」則有「設譬法」、「縱說」、「橫說」及「一層高一層」、「擴延法等」的之寫法。以講理為主的《華嚴經》若非在修辭上表達得酣暢淋漓,如何能闡發其中的深度義涵。

英文摘要

Over all, Avatamsaka Sutra as a document is widely interpreted mostly from the aspect of its profoundness of meaning and reasoning, while ignore its wholly expressed profound thought by way of literature in liberal art, i.e. the imbedded profound contents of concord between noumenon and phenomenon (li-shi-wu-ai) and concord between phenomenon and phenomenon (shi-shi-wu-ai). As the “focus implication” of the Chapter, the inconceivable virtue and merit of initial arising motivation, it started with the dialogue between the Heavenly Ruler Shakra and Dharma Wisdom Bodhisattva. That showed the structure of the writing was based on “cross-referencing”. It really expressed the meaning in magnificent metaphor ingeniously. Then, on the method of writing layout, it uses “similes”, “longitudinal description (time-line)”, “horizontal description (space)”, “ascending layers”, and “expanding”, etc. The main focus of Avatamsaka Sutra is on detailing of reason, had it had not written rhetorically how could it have expressed the profoundness of the meaning.
