The topics addressed, scope, and approach of this paper involve contemporary postmodern/poststructural critical theory, literary criticism in particular, and Mahayana (大乘)—especially kongan (公案) and hwadu (話頭) Ch’an(Chinese)/Seon(Korean)/Zen (Japanese)—Buddhist thought (佛敎思想) is explained in detail. However, the theoretical ground is only to help the twenty-first century audience to deeply comprehend how literature and film offer us precious opportunity to experience the sublime (崇古)—aesthetic sensibility (美的感覺), through which we glimpse (一見) the ultimate reality (窮極的 現實). It is time now that intellectual (philosophical, critical, academic) explanation and spiritual experience are brought to work together in the common area, literature (文學) and film (映畫). It is important for literary readers to experience someone’s life story in the way of encountering the non-duality (非二重性) of the ultimate reality.
