聖嚴法師主修觀音法門，並認為在《首楞嚴經》二十五種圓通當中，以觀世音菩薩的耳根圓通最為殊勝。此外，法師亦特為注重「大勢至菩薩念佛圓通」，常舉「淨念相繼」做為闡述一心念佛的經據，所謂「一念相應一念佛，念念相應念念佛」地達致人間淨土。本文擬從聖嚴法師對「淨念相繼」、「入流亡所」的詮釋觀點，考辨其思想源流，辨章其學術動向，以具體了解其學術思想。聖嚴法師「建設人間淨土」的思想淵源極為泓窈，他提倡的「人間淨土」思想跟「淨念相繼」、「入流亡所」的實踐手段有直接關係。析釐此間關係，能從不同面向考察法師「建設人間淨土」的思想動向。

Master Sheng Yen was the in mastry of Avalokitecvara’s teaching (Guanyin’s teaching觀音法門). He thought that the perfect penetration of the ear by directing the hearing inward to listen to his own nature in Avalokitecvara was the most special among the 25 kinds of perfect penetration in The Śūraṃgama-sūtra (Shou lengyan jing 首楞嚴經). Other than that, Master ShengYen also paid special regard to the perfect penetration through mindfulness of the Buddha by Great Strength Attained Bodhisattva. He used continuous pure mindfulness to obtain samadhi as the example to illustrate the wholehearted Buddhist Recitation as the foundation, which is saying that if our Mind accords with the Mind of Buddha Amitabha for one moment, we are born in the Pure Land for one moment; if we reach accord moment after moment, we are born in the Pure Land moment after moment (一念相應一念佛， 念念相應念念佛); so that we can reach the Pure Land on Earth. This paper aims to review the concepts of “continuous pure mindfulness to obtain samadhi” (淨念相繼) and “entered the flow through hearing and forgot objective states” (入流亡所) to examine his scholastic development and the orientation of thoughts. Master Sheng Yen’s teaching on “Building a Pure Land on Earth” is both subtle and profound in terms of Buddhist doctrine. His proposal about building the Pure Land on Earth has close relationship with the two concepts mentioned above. With the analysis, we can investigate Master Sheng Yen’s thoughts from various perspectives.
