呂碧城一生特立獨行，中年後漫遊歐美各地，曾於1927至1928年走訪英倫半年，其重點有三：一是呂碧城以其女記者的慣習，對英倫城市文明與文化景觀進行知性而客觀的報導；獨特之處在於她面對西方文化時，不忘堅守自身文化主體或以中國情調解讀異國文化，顯示她的文化自信心。其次，呂碧城在旅次中習於閱報，往往特別關心社會新聞，尤其是訟案或靈異事件；也曾經為文論述倫敦靈學的發展。第三，呂碧城英倫旅居期間偶遇佛緣，乃至於開啟後期人生學佛的契機，同時她也關心倫敦的佛學發展，顯示後期朝向宗教修行之路的生命自覺。是以，本論文將探討做為民國古典才女的呂碧城，以女記者的姿態書寫英倫的文化景觀，並兼及其靈異／靈學敘事與偶遇佛緣而使後期生命轉向宗教修行之路的因緣，以探勘呂碧城這趟英倫旅行書寫中較為獨特的內涵，以及它之於呂碧城後期生命史的轉折意義。

Lu Bicheng（呂碧城）who has a unique life history have traveled around Europe and the United States in her middle age. Lu once visited England for half a year from 1927 to 1928. Its focus (what focus, this paper? Or her life history? need to clarify) is threefold：Firstly, due to her career as a female reporter, Lu Bicheng's objective report on the England's cultural landscape and its intellectual and professional style. Particularly, while encountering western culture, Lu remained her own cultural subject and interpret foreign culture with Chinese sentiment, showing her cultural self-confidence. Secondly, Lu was diligent in reading newspapers during the trip, often paying special attention to news, reports of litigation or spiritual events in particular. At the same time, she also discussed the development of spirituality in London. Thirdly, Lu occasionally discovered serendipity of Buddhism during her England residence, and taking the opportunity to learning Buddhism in her later life. Lu is also concerned about the development of Buddhism in London, showing the life consciousness of female reporters towards the path of religious practice. Therefore, this paper aims to explore Lu Bicheng and her life of a classical talented woman of the Republic of China. This paper has three major focuses: Firstly, on her writing on cultural landscape and spiritual narrative in England and secondly, on the cause of her encounter with Buddhism. Third, on the path of life to religion, to explore the more unique connotation in her English travel writing, and its turning significance to her later life history.
