In Buddhism, awakening from the long dream of life means realizing your self-nature… Although we may understand that our lives are dreamlike, we still bear responsibility for this sleeping and waking dream We must make our minds simple, peaceful, and tranquil Sincere and rigorous practice lets us calm both body and mind, which in turn allows us, day by day, to reduce our karmic obstructions”
There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no cessation of suffering, and no path There is no wisdom and no attainmentThe Heart Sutra, just over a page long, distills the teachings of the Buddha to their purest essence Perhaps the best known of all Buddhist sutras, it is recited in Buddhist centers and monasteries around the world Emphasizing a living wisdom directly experienced, the schools of Chan have revered the Heart Sutra for its concise expression of the core realization of the Buddha.There Is No Suffering is Chan Master Sheng Yen’s commentary on the Heart Sutru He speaks on the sutra from the Chan point of view, and presents it as a series of contemplation methods, encouraging readers to experience it directly through meditation and daily life In this way, reading the Heart Sutra becomes more than just an intellectual exercise; it becomes a wisdom inherent within each of us Whether one wants a better understanding of Buddhist concepts or a deepened meditation practice, this commentary on the Heart Sutra can help.
佛法如暗夜之明燈、苦海之船筏。現今世界局勢動盪不安,人心惶惶,可從佛法中找到安心安定的力量!《般若心經》全文僅有262字,卻道出人生的真理實相,唯有照見五蘊皆空,方能度一切苦厄。
本書以千古傳誦的《般若波羅蜜多心經》為依歸,根據玄奘大師譯本重啟般若智慧之門。短短二百六十字的《心經》涵攝《大般若經》精義,道出「色即是空,空即是色」的生命真相。這不只是誦讀的經文,更是一面照見自心的明鏡、一把安頓身心的鑰匙。作者林佩瑩以清晰白話筆法,結合生活故事與日常譬喻,啟迪讀者如何在繁忙與困頓之中,看見轉機。觀自在不在遠方,就在每一次情緒翻湧之際;般若智慧,也藏於每一個人生轉角。翻開此書,不僅幫助你讀懂《心經》,更牽引你把經文走進生活。當煩惱現前,由色觀空;當壓力升起,返觀自心。讓《心經》不再只是背誦的聲音,在轉角處,與觀自在相遇;在當下,轉煩惱為菩提。
