法 (印度哲学)

维基百科,自由的百科全书

梵语धर्मdharma巴利语धम्मdhamma),音译为达摩,是在印度哲学宗教中极其重要的一个含义多变的术语。

在传统印度社会中,法在历史上已经指称了各种思想,比如吠陀仪式,道德指导、种姓制度和民法与刑法。它的最常用含义附属著两个基本思想: 社会生活应当通过良好定义或良好调控的等级(varna)来组织,而在某等级内的个人的生活应当组织成确定的阶段(ashrama,参见 dharmasastra)。[1]

依据各种印度宗教,比如印度教佛教耆那教锡克教,如法生活的人更快趋向解脱(dharma yukam, moksha 或 nirvana)。而不如法(adharma)意味着不和谐、不道德或错误(即堕落)。

佛教创始人佛陀及耆那教创始人大雄的教导和学说,也使用法这个术语。在佛教哲学中,法还是含义为现象的术语。[2]

语源

[编辑]

法的梵语字根来自dhr-,意思为保持、支撑,并且和拉丁语表示坚固、稳定的词汇firmus相关[3],由此得来“既定、公认的惯例”以及“律法”的意思。其源自古老的吠陀梵语梨俱吠陀等),拼法为带有n-词干dharman-,字面意思为承担者、支撑者,而这是指吠陀宗教中的重要概念──ṛta英语Ṛta/ˈrɪtə/; 梵语 ऋत ṛta,秩序、规则、真理)的面向而言[4]阿维斯陀语中表示真实、正确、秩序的词汇aṣ̌a英语Asha(𐬀𐬴𐬀)为ṛta的同源词,在古波斯语中拼作arta(𐎠𐎼𐎫)。

古典梵语和最晚成立的吠陀书──阿闼婆吠陀,其拼法是dharma。而在普拉克里特诸语言(古印度俗语)和巴利语中的拼法则是dhamma。在阿育王诏书的古石刻文书坎达哈双语岩石铭文英语Kandahar Bilingual Rock Inscription中,用古希腊语eusebeia英语Eusebeia(εὐσέβεια,虔诚、灵性的成熟、恭敬神明)和亚兰语qšyṭʾ(קשיטא,真理、真实),来翻译印度的宗教哲学词汇──法[5][6]

印度教

[编辑]

印度教的语境中,它意味着一个人的正当义务与责任,[43]印度宗教的法受个人的年龄、等级、职业和性别的影响。[44]在现代印度语言中依赖于语境,它可以简单的等价于“宗教”。

However, he was always careful to define this dharma as "dependently arisen phenomena" (paticca-samuppanna-dhamma) ... In order to distinguish this notion of dhamma from the Indian conception where the term dharma meant reality (atman), in an ontological sense, the Buddha utilized the conception of result or consequence or fruit (attha, Sk. artha) to bring out the pragmatic meaning of dhamma."
