Chiasmic methodology analyses a text into two parallel halves, identifying complementary "prologue" (A) and "conclusion" (A'), and highlighting the critical "central point" (X), with sub-themes paralleled in the two halves (A-B-C-D...X...D'-C'-B'-A'). Through chiasmus theory, many ancient texts formerly considered fragmentary and incoherent have been shown to be structurally sophisticated wholes. The modern text-critical approach has re-written the traditional account of the Praj p?ramit? s?tras. Several scholars have proposed theories regarding a pre-textual "ur-s?tra," though with little consensus on this. In general, most agree that after the formation of an "ur-s?tra" the main body of the text was then chaotically compiled from various fragmentary sub-texts, with the Sad?prarudita Avad?na finally appended at the end. The result is the presently extant smaller s?tra. This modern scholarship then claims gradual growth through expansion into the medium and larger s?tras. The modern academic "discourse on emptiness" portrays the Praj p?ramit? as focusing on the doctrine of "emptiness" ( nyat?). This study challenges many of these claims. On analysis, primary and secondary chiasmi were identified in the first two chapters of the s?tra. Their scope is the authority of teaching and training in the Praj p?ramit?, and maintenance of the lineage of the Buddhas. Their central climax is definitions of "bodhisattva," "mah?sattva" and "mah?y?na," in the rhetorical formula "XY is Y." Clearly paralleled sub-themes include "sam?dhi," "the illusory," "M?ra" and "entrance into certitude." A second chiasmus comprising the entire Avad?na at the end of the s?tra was also identified. The scope is Sad?prarudita's quest for Praj p?ramit?, "to see and hear the Tath?gatas." The central climax is his seeing and hearing the "Tath?gata" as one who has realized "suchness" (tathat?) or "dependent origination" (prat?tyasa?utp?da), again expressed in the form "XY is Y." Paralleled sub-themes include "sam?dhi," "M?ra" and "giving." These two chiasmi are similar in scope, centers which define key terms through the rhetorical formula "XY is Y," and sub-themes. This suggests a larger chiasmus which spans the entire text, with these chiasmi as prologue and conclusion respectively. While not conclusive, there is evidence for a central climax centered at "suchness" (tathat?), attainment of which results in the bodhisattva's status of irreversibility. This connects the prologue and concluding chiasmi, "bodhisattvas" to "Tath?gatas," respectively. Numerous paralleled sub-themes are more or less salient. There are major implications from the discovery of chiasmus in the Praj p?ramit?. Critically, it suggests that the s?tra was initially composed as a complete chiasmic whole, rather than from accumulated fragmentary parts. Hermeneutically, the core message may be understood more systematically than earlier methods. It proposes "suchness" (tathat?) as the central theme, rather than "emptiness" ( nyat?). It also rejects the genre designation of the Praj p?ramit? as a "philosophical" rather than "religious" text. This study also off...

中國教育自始雖由政府主辦，但文化道統之繼承與弘揚則由民間書院自覺承擔。民間書院規模不在大、不在多，而在質素：主持者之志氣與學養、魄力與通識，能夠切中時弊，一呼百應，即使未能及時發揮其對時代的運轉能力，但卻影響歷史，成為不滅的明燈。如孔子，首開私人講學之例，點出禮樂之根，就是因為當時秩序已亂，「學校不修」（《毛詩．子衿》），有志者、有學者、有性情者、有博識者，自然奮起，擔當使命。此後薪盡火傳，屢仆屢起，終史傳之世，不絕如縷。如朱熹、陸象山、胡五峰、張栻、呂祖謙、吳澄、程端禮、湛若水、陳白沙、王陽明、顧憲成、劉宗周、張之洞、康有為、梁漱溟、馬一浮、錢穆……指不勝屈，都是中流砥柱，與文化共存亡。其人格之光輝與對歷史之貢獻，誰能否認？若無他們所作之教育事業，則禮樂早亡，國人亦死。文化之道，不在典章、不在知識，而在精神、而在生命。此義，唯東方諸聖知之，可惜晚近西學東來，席捲天下，教育改制，而書院亡矣。今之學校，徒知考試，學生以得學位為鵠的。知識販賣，不過為謀生之工具；精神墮落，竟完全沉沒於現實。長此下去，人倫必變，家庭必變，社會必變，豈不痛哉！ 然而，現實中無空間，即為仁人志士之空間；一念迴轉，便可以開天闢地。此義，我在嶽麓書院演講時言之，希望能引起共應，以略盡關切之情。書中五講，及途中答學友之問，九九年率諸生作「中國書院之旅」時沿途而說，內容皆環繞書院盛衰、文化變動及個人修養，初無定稿，由李錦招等諸君筆錄整理，再經我審閱而成。故若有錯漏，責當在我。時勢已不容怠墮，世之君子，關心中國教育與中國文化者，知我罪我，其鑒諒之！
