佛教經濟財富思維之基本論述
——聖嚴法師觀點研究
蔡韋齡、黃建森
經濟學家關心貧窮、富裕、快樂三大問題，是即設法脫離貧窮、追求富裕、邁向快樂，貧窮、富裕比較單純化，是數字高低問題，快樂比較不容易，涉及心靈與心理問題。佛家講求萬緣放下，離苦得樂，經濟學家與佛家交集還算夠大。佛教建立在三世因果與六道輪迴之上，是故，三世論、因果律與無常觀是其根本義理，四聖諦苦、集、減、道，揭示苦是人生本質，離苦得樂則是生活目標，經濟學家與佛家共同追求快樂目標，縮短佛家與經濟學家思想之落差。
佛教經典有關經濟財富思維經文或文獻不多，偶見之於金剛經、藥師經與凈土五經，惟除了金剛經，其他經典僅是短短幾句，倒是聖嚴法師、星雲法師及藏傳法王仁波切立足佛教經典，闡述獨到的卓見。本文探討佛教經濟財富思維，引介聖嚴法師之觀點，法師弘揚佛法，重點在建設人間净土，提升人的品質，兼及財富思維，本文試從經濟學角度切入，探究法師發表論著中有關財富之基本觀點。
聖嚴法師的財富思維，查考『108自在語』，大抵涵蓋少欲、節儉、布施、利他、財富共享、世間財、智慧財與功德財之論述，歸結為『布施利他』與『財富共享』兩大主題，基本上，經濟學家也關心此等思維，可稱爲轉移性支付或利益重分配，是利他思維，具足佛教經濟思潮之妙味。本文之研究，抛磚引玉，期盼先進經濟學者共襄盛舉，共同關懷普天下之窮人或經濟弱者，逐步脫貧致富，邁向快樂的人生。
