佛陀教法的核心可以用两个主轴来总括∶四圣谛及八正道。前者涵盖\教义面,它所引
发的主要效应是智慧;后者涵盖\广义的戒律面,它主要的要求是修行。在教法的体系
中,这两个主轴连成不能切割的整体,称为法与律,即教义和戒律,或简称为「法」(
Dhamma)。以下事实保证了「法」的内在统合性∶四圣谛的最后一谛—道谛,就是八正
道;而八正道的第一道支——正见,则是对四圣谛的了解。因此,这两大主轴互相贯通
,彼此含摄——四圣谛的理则包含了八正道;而八正道包含了四圣谛。
有了这种内在的统合性,若要问法的那一个面向比较有价值,是教义?还是「道」?将
毫无意义。但是,如果我们不管它的无意义,仍然要问这个问题,那么答案将必定是「
道」。「道」的首要性在于它把教法带入生活中。「道」把「法」从一条条的抽象理则

與此同時,自從中國大陸改革開放以來,印順法師的著作開始緩慢地但卻是持續不斷地

印順法師的佛學著述和闡揚的「人間佛教」思想,為佛教從信仰層圈出發,契入社

否如此呢?我后来看了一些南传大德的传记后发现,他们实际上也是在修菩萨行,发大
心救度众生。而且,更让我觉得需要深思的是,南传那边主要修持禅定和证沙门四果,
古今都有不少这方面的大德,现在也有。
但是在我们这地区,很多人每天都只是念念经咒而已,谁知道怎么证果?怎么证阿罗汉
?怎么证菩萨果位?有不少人念了多年的经咒,依然脾气烦恼不减,为什么?而我见修
内观打坐的,确实能很好地调伏心性。我在这里谈的是成就。大乘佛教,有很多禅观三
昧的修法,比如月轮三昧、法华三昧、大悲如幻三昧、各种本尊三昧……都是解脱证果
的,我想,这些才是真正的教法,是佛陀最核心的教法。否则每天谈论大道理,都是扯
淡的,并不能真正自度度他。充其量只能与佛结缘而已。
现在很多居士修行大多如此,散乱心修行,修密的生起次第修不起来,散乱心念仪轨,
如此修行,何时成就?念了多年依然是凡夫,于解脱无缘。佛陀一代大教,传至今日,
末法时代,确实衰微了,虽有很多学佛者,然不修三摩地,无实证。每天接受的都是资

r******y 发帖数: 21907 | 44 Call it the Woody Allen Effect. When the venerable director
scandalously left Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter, South Korean-
born Soon-Yi Previn — 35 years his junior — he may as well have sent
out a press release: Asian-girl fantasy trumps that of Hollywood
royalty!
Not two years after they tied the knot, media baron Rupert Murdoch
walked down the aisle with fresh-faced Wendi Deng — 17 days after
finalizing his divorce from his second wife. Then, CBS head Leslie

达摩难陀尊者:佛教与同性恋
Dhammananda尊者(1919-2002, Venerable Dr K. Sri Dhammananda Nayake Maha
Thera)来自斯里兰卡,多年担任马来西亚佛教大长老。以下为达摩难陀尊者与一位同
性恋者的电子邮件通信。
2002年1月7日
尊敬的长老
我在寻求您的指点之前,请允许我首先祝贺长老在佛教界五十年的服务,最重要的是,
祝贺您对人类进步的贡献。过去几年中,我那些同为同性恋的朋友们一直向我提问,他
们有兴趣了解佛教对同性恋的观点。在今日世界里,很难过地说,同性恋仍然被当成是
社会唾弃的对象,认为这些人不干正事,只思淫欲。这种根深蒂固的形象造成了在工作
单位上对同性恋的歧视,这在亚洲国家尤其严重。
根据我的理解,象伊斯兰教与基督教这样的宗教是谴责同性恋行为的,但是我常常自问
佛教是怎样的态度。作为一个信奉佛教的同性恋者,我在这点上并没有清楚的了解。
我读过您许多很好的著作,也听过您的讲经,我甚至在网站上读过一些材料,但没有这
方面的答案。
我的问题如下。
1.佛教谴责同性恋吗... 阅读全帖 |

Responding to customer demand Dell has restarted selling new PCs with
Windows XP installed on them.
The decision reverses a policy begun in January that meant Windows Vista was
the only operating system available on almost all new home machines.
The change came after Dell's feedback site was swamped with calls for the
return of the venerable software.
Now customers can opt for the Home or Professional version of XP on six
models of Dell machines. |

k*k 发帖数: 508 | 47 Fortran father John Backus, dead at 82
Filed under: Developer, News, IBM
John Backus made software back when no one called it software. As the
project leader of the IBM team which created the venerable Fortran language,
Backus helped define the "hacker ethic". Leading a small team to do great
things quickly, and leverage their own mistakes in order to learn, Backus
shattered the paradigm of 1950s corporate IBM and, developed a language that
is only now beginning to fade into history.

星期 星星
Sunday - Sun - Domenica - Sole
Monday - Moon - Lunedi - Luna
Tuesday - Mars - Martedi - Marte
Wednesday - Mercury - Mercoledi - Mercurio
Thursday - Jupiter - Giovedi - Giove
Friday - Venus - Venerdi - Venere
Saturday - Saturn - Sabato - Saturno
好像除了星期天以外,每个都和星名合得上。
