《斷惑見諦：對法的解脫論》
(Abandoning Defilements, Realizing Truths Abhidharma Soteriology)

作者：法光 (KL Dhammajoti)
出版：香港佛法中心有限公司

出版日期：2026年5月 第一版
ISBN: 978-988-76863-6-1

本書由旭日慈善基金 (Glorious Sun Charity Group, Hong Kong) 贊助出版

本書以說一切有部傳統為中心。此一傳統，發展出嚴密的法論、因果論、業論、認識論、修道論、無為法論與佛智論。本書並非將這些教義視為抽象的「純哲學」系統；更不將其貶抑為脫離修證的所謂 scholasticism。相反，本書的基本立場是：阿毘達磨的教理根本上是解脫道論。它的一切分析，無論是自相、共相、三世實有、六因四緣、俱有因、得、無表、現量、擇滅、非擇滅，皆須從斷惑見諦、證得解脫的功能來理解。⋯⋯
阿毘達磨的理論不是孤立論師憑空構造的概念體系，而是根植於佛教整個修證傳統，由歷代瑜伽師依真現量證智所傳之法相抉擇。它既依聖教，也依現觀；既重理證，也重修證；既辨別諸法，也以斷除煩惱、證得涅槃為歸趣。⋯⋯ 阿毘達磨若只被看作名相分類或部派哲學，便失去其生命；若能回到斷惑見諦之脈絡，則可見其嚴密法相分析正是為了解脫而建立。
