Summary:碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國文學系 === 85 === In the book about the art of novel, Milan Kundera has expressed his point of view on the phenomenon of the existence of human being:Life is a trap. We had born without being asking of the will, imprisoned in the flesh that had never chosen by us and destined to death.……We were finally getting more and more constricted by the outer conditions, and were determined by the unavoidable circumstances that making every one of us more similar, and thus losing our particularities.However, he has only touching the external parts on the point; for the This incisive observance had profoundly insights on the inevitable limitation of the existence of human being more profound layer, he has miss a hidden trap; that is the binary ways of though that formed counter controlled and imprisonment on human consciousness.It is true that the troubles bring by the deconstructing ways of thinking is the main cause of the imprisonment, and this imprisonment was created from the circumstances we faced. Perfect teaching, being a concept of ascertaining the difference factions of Buddhism, posses a transcendental solution on this imprisonment. Its fundamental insight telling us that the World is not an object to observe as we usually do, it is an "understanding" of the world that is corresponding to the views of the subjectivity. Different "world" will appear to different view, therefore the "world" is only significant to the views of the subjectivity, that means it could not be an independent "world" without the present of the subjectivity.For perfect teaching shows the presentation of the world from the conscious of human being is an inseparable whole. That is; the higher levels embodied the lower levels, the lower levels have also embodied the higher levels. The higher have developed from the lower, the lower is the foundations of the higher. It is just like the relationship of ice and water. Ice posses a probability in the presence of water and vice versa. In other word, they are actually the same substance in different states but not the combination of difference substancesTherefore, base on the above mention way of thinking, the Perfect Teaching open a way to overcome the limitation bring by analytical ways of thinking in such a way that the lower levels are not to be blamed and demolished, the lower levels is a necessary entrance to the higher levels. Like lotus and mud, they are of mutual relations. Buddha is the highest transformation level of the mortal, like the flowering of lotus from the mud, the mortal were all poses the probability of Buddhahood, therefore the mortal are not the ones to be repel, because the possibilities of becoming Buddha are embodied in the existence of the mortalThat does not mean that we are going to connive and spoiled ourselves in the dark corners of life, it is an enlightening sort of wisdom by practicing a totally perception and acceptance kind of attitude to return our soul to a perfect whole state.From here, we could learn that the focus of "The Meaning of Perfect Teaching on Tan Chin" is not on the topic itself, but on the issue concerning the problems that Tan Chin conscious. In other word, by observing the model of thinking constructed by Tian Tai as a reference and deducing it'' s model of Perfect Teaching in Tan Chin are the work that we are trying to do. From here, we can see that the main idea of Perfect Teaching in Tan Chin is presence in a form of exploitable probabilities. Through examining the philosophical context of Tan Chin and compare that to Tian Tai''s model, we then had explored the inner significance structures of Tan Chin thinking.In the book about the art of novel, Milan Kundera has expressed his point of view on the phenomenon of the existence of human being:Life is a trap.
