    [[abstract]]  本研究從佛教的角度,探討瞋以及其對治法門,進而兼論瞋心對治在於現代的社會上的應用。  面臨同樣的境界,有的人能夠心平氣和,有的人卻會火冒三丈。現代社會問題中,有多少完全與瞋心扯不上關係?在快速變遷的資訊時代,能夠在瞋心生起的時候,知道生起的因由,找到對治的方法,實為重要。  本研究先針對瞋的基本概念著手:瞋,即是對眾生仇恨厭惡,其具有排斥性,並展現於行為、言語,或是心理作用。瞋心比喻的詞彙可歸納為四種性質:破壞性、畏懼性、頑劣性、虛妄性。再就瞋心生起的原因以及過患進行探討,找出根本的源頭為我執之餘,也同時昭告瞋心所引發的過失,嚴重者乃導致無止盡的輪迴。從瞋心的對治法門中,以懺悔來反省自己,以八正道、四無量心來調伏瞋心,還要以般若空慧來對治我執。對於現代社會的應用,本研究以星雲大師所撰寫的〈十修歌〉以及人間佛教弘化過程中的三個實例:應對教難而撰寫《貧僧有話要說》的因緣、高雄國際水果節、巴西如來之子光明教育計畫,作為探討對象,論述當面對生氣的境界時,在現實生活的實際例子中如何降伏瞋心,乃至於對社會國家所帶來的影響。[[abstract]]  This paper is a study about hatred and its remedy from a Buddhist perspective, and discuss its implementation to remedial hatred in modern society.
