提要： 本文比較研究了人類追尋終極真理的兩條路徑——啟示與密契體驗。基督宗教側重神的啟示，道教則以密契體驗為主，強調個體與「道」的直接合一。文章探討了《道德經》《莊子》等經典中的密契特質，以及上清派與內丹術中的神秘修煉，同時指出道教與基督教在修行方法、倫理精神和宇宙觀上的深層共鳴。作者認為，啟示與密契並非對立，而是互補；基督宗教與道教可以在靈性探索上互為補益，拓展對「道」與「神」的理解。

Abstract: Abstract: This article offers a comparative study of two paths in humanity’s quest for ultimate truth—revelation and mystical experience. Christianity emphasizes divine revelation, whereas Daoism focuses on mystical experience, highlighting the individual’s direct union with the Dao. The paper explores the mystical characteristics found in classics such as the Daodejing and Zhuangzi, as well as the esoteric practices of the Shangqing school and inner alchemy. It also points out the profound resonances between Daoism and Christianity in their methods of cultivation, ethical spirit, and cosmology. The author argues that revelation and mysticism are not oppositional but complementary; Christianity and Daoism can enrich each other’s spiritual pursuits, expanding the understanding of both Dao and God.
