本文探討的問題是：如何運用中國傳統的死亡智慧和「生死互滲」觀使現代人免於死亡之焦慮與恐懼。本文認為：一、現代人在生活品質上要高於傳統人，但在死亡的品質上則要低於傳統人，因為現代人的死亡恐懼比之傳統人更強烈。 二、死亡是一大「黑洞」，無法定義，只可推測和想像，它蘊藉著人類最大最深刻的悲劇。 三、中國傳統死亡智慧可區分為兩類：一是不能溝通生死的智慧；一為可以溝通生死的智慧，它們都有其現代的應用價值。四、建構一個科學且合宜的生死觀的核心是：理解並運用生死互滲的觀念。

　　　　　The subject discussed in this paper is how to make use of China's traditional wisdom of death and the viewpoint of life and death permeability to help modern people to free from anxiety and fright of death. The paper holds themselves these opinions: (l) Modern life quality, is better than the traditional one, but in the respect of death quality, worse. Modern people are more frightened of death than traditional people. (2) Death is a very big “dark hole”, without issue. It can only be inferred and imagined; and it is the biggest and deepest tragedy of human beings. (3) China's traditional wisdom of death can be divided into two categories: one is the wisdom which servers life and death; the other is the one that links them both. Both wisdoms have their own pragmatic value. (4) The basis on which to construct a scientific and feasible viewpoint of life and death is to understand and practice the idea of life and death permeability.
