Abstract

This article endeavors to comprehensively explore the spiritual experiences within Christianity, and Islam. It aims to examine the similarities and dissimilarities between Monasticism (existing in Christianity) and Sufism (existing in Islam). The article delves into inquiries regarding whether monasticism serves as the origin of Sufism, the potential reciprocal influence between the two phenomena, and the absence of any connection between them. To accomplish this, the paper employs both inductive and analytical methodologies. Pertaining to similarities, both Monasticism and Sufism encompass disengagement from worldly affairs, seclusion from society, renunciation of materialistic existence, utilization of chants and hymns. Nonetheless, these entities diverge in terms of their approaches towards places of worship, inclination towards celibacy, reliance on symbolic language, religious rituals, the significance of silence, attitudes towards women, as well as the expressions of love and fear. Ultimately, a prevalent discovery emerges that spiritual experiences transcend religious boundaries. Despite variations in individuals' religious backgrounds, the spiritual dimension constitutes a shared element among them. KEYWORDS Gratitude method, intuitive method, knowledge philosophy, knowledge source, religious philosophy, spiritual exercise

宗教间的精神体验

本文力图全面探讨基督教和伊斯兰教的精神体验。它的目的是研究修道主义(存在于基督教)和苏菲主义(存在于伊斯兰教)之间的异同。这篇文章深入探讨了修道主义是否作为苏菲主义的起源，这两种现象之间潜在的相互影响，以及它们之间没有任何联系。为了做到这一点，本文采用归纳和分析两种方法。关于相似之处，修道主义和苏菲主义都包括脱离世俗事务，远离社会，放弃物质主义存在，利用圣歌和赞美诗。然而，这些实体在对待礼拜场所的方式、对独身的倾向、对象征性语言的依赖、宗教仪式、沉默的意义、对妇女的态度以及爱和恐惧的表达等方面存在分歧。最终，一个普遍的发现出现了，精神体验超越了宗教界限。尽管个人的宗教背景各不相同，但精神层面构成了他们共同的要素。【关键词】感恩法，直觉法，知识哲学，知识源泉，宗教哲学，精神锻炼
