论王常月的宗教美学思想

王常月的宗教美学思想从两方面体现出来 ,一是他在其著作中强调了人的“妙明真性” ,即修道的目的 ,表现了他对人格美和内在审美心境的刻意追求。王常月将这种修道所需的心态和人格外化为一种内丹修炼方法 ,由戒律定型下来 ,成为实现人的绝对自由的可操作规范。二是王常月将儒家的忠孝伦理实践作为他修道理论的立足点和核心 ,并吸收佛教的思想 ,形成了他自己的宗教伦理美学观

On Religious Aesthetics of Wang Changyue

Wang Changyue is an important representative of Inner Elixir faction. His aesthetic concept of religion is shown in two aspects. Firstly, he emphasized the "Miao Ming Zhen Xin"--the goal of Taoism practice in his works. This expressed his seeking of Immortals' personality beauty and inner state of mind of appreciation of the beauty. Wang Changyue converted this into a kind of method of Inner Elixir shaped by religious discipline, and this became a practicable norm. Secondly, he took the ethics practice of Confucianism as the foothold and core of his theory of Taoism practice. He absorbed Buddhist ideas and formed his own aesthetic concept of religious ethics.
