摘要: 《大乘起信论》的“一心二门”理论,集中体现了中国佛教的本觉自证与内在超越向度。从佛教中国化的理论发展来看,《大乘起信论》极大地提高了众生成佛的主体性维度,其在中国佛教人本化历程中有着非常重要的里程碑作用。《大乘起信论》树立“体用不二”的心体论,统一了体和用,以及染与净、觉和不觉。《大乘起信论》提出了“真如本觉”的新思想,在这一理论架构中,真如能够以内在的本觉智性自我救赎,通过真如熏习的内在机制与本觉自证的修行实践,回归清净本心。

Abstract: The structure of “the Two Aspects of One Mind” in The Awakening of Faith demonstrates well that Chinese Buddhism is characterized by its emphasis on the self-realization of the original enlightenment and the dimension of internal transcendence. Prominently promoting the subjectivity of a human being in his becoming a Buddha, The Awakening of Faith is a landmark in the process of humanization of Chinese Buddhism. Its theory of Mind-substance holds the unity of substance and function, mind-pollution and mind-purification, and enlightenment and non-enlightenment. It presents a new doctrine of “the original enlightenment of True Thusness”, according to which True Thusness can realize it’s self-salvation and return to its original purification through the cultivation practice of the self-realization of the original enlightenment.
