跨宗教對話和跨文化溝通不僅是當代世界文化所關心課題，在天台智顗之天台止觀的各種文本和《太乙金華宗旨》中，就已經展開許多天台止觀和丹道的會通，展開跨文化的溝通。 首先，本文探討智顗的各種止觀文本中對於丹道的吸收運用，我們從天台各種止觀文本的三課題，來加以考察，也就是：1. 持息念，2. 通明禪，3. 治病 (第壹章)。 復次，探討近代 (清康熙) 才出現的丹道文本《太乙金華宗旨》，如何融會天台三觀、佛性論於丹道的回光修持法之中，並據此解釋佛教的止觀等持和禪宗的安心法門 (第貳章)。 最後，探討進入現當代以後，《太乙金華宗旨》和天台止觀所蘊含的丹禪合修，所具有的跨文化溝通、跨宗教對話的涵義，和此中所顯示的東亞文化的當代詮釋意義 (第叁章)。
