個人禪修計劃
引言 佛學博大精深,源遠流長。在參學的過程中,除了要對義理有正確的把捉外,如何在各種千差萬別的修行法門中,在善知識的導引下找到適合個人的進路,從實修中獲取修行的益處,助成修行的功德,應是每位參學者需給予充分關注的課題。因此,筆者相信為自己制訂個人修行計劃並加以實踐,透過反覆的練習及印證,在參學的過程中定能有所獲益。

把人的工作,變為事的工作,人才會透支(burnout)。
在修行上,你不需要努力地想著甚麼或得到甚麼;你需要的只是一份effortless的覺察。它能讓你的心因著這份的關注而柔順,為生起智慧建立良好的土壤。
2008年3月7 日 第三課 一如以往,下班後拖著疲累的身軀,草草地吃了晚點便往坐禪的地方去。不同的是今天較上兩次早了十五分鐘到達,坐堂內的人並不多。脫去鞋子,拿取坐墊及筆記便徑自往上次的地方坐下。因時間尚早,有了非常充裕的時間做伸展的活動。
「各位同學,大家好,我叫做阿晴(假名)。就在我十五歲那一年有了我第一個BB……」 原先充滿竊竊私語的課堂,在這刻驟然靜了下來。同學開始靜心地傾聽阿晴的故事。

Introduction Having reviewed the Abhidharmakośa-bhāsya-śāstra (AKB) and the Abhidharma-Nyāyānusāra-śāstra (Ny) on the controversies and the evolvement of the concept of co-existent cause, I would like to illustrate how Vasubandhu, a pro-Sautrāntika Abhidharmika drawn out the implicit meaning of simultaneous causality and redefined it as ‘reciprocally effects’ (互為果) in AKB. Vasubandhu used this new definition to…
Introduction Buddhism emphasizes so much on giving (dāna) because it is the beginning of the path to liberation. Liberation denotes the attainment of a state of moral perfection, namely Nibbāna. Nibbāna, is best described as an ethical ideal which has to be realized by uprooting greed, hatred and ignorance, the three radical roots of all…
