Live a life of ease and freedom, on the basis of peace and solidity, with the principle of being less agitated and affected.
Many masters in the history of Chinese Chan Buddhism emphasized practice as daily living. Whether monastic or lay, a follower uses the concepts and methods of Chan in daily life. By doing so, one experiences calmness and ease while being spontaneous and lively amidst mundane reality. Chan is not a religion, not a philosophy, and surely not mysterious or weird sorcery. It is the wisdom of living, the cultivation of body and mind, and a principle and guideline for spiritual development. It is also the best method for influencing and purifying the environment.--Master Sheng Yen

迷惑與不滿,希望與恐懼的原因,只有一個:看不清事物的真相。中觀就是深觀,用智慧之眼辨證萬物的存在。一旦明白萬物的虛實,無執、無滯的空性智慧,便能清除內在的成見、枯寂、不滿足及痛苦。.中觀論師龍樹的「八不」中道及其論證方法,照見萬法的真相:無有自性,它不僅破除凡人的我執、外道的常見、斷見和小乘學人的法執,同時更進一步彰顯「諸法皆空」的論點。.中觀不只是高明的論證,更是一條直觀實證的道路,唯有透過《中論》「緣起性空」的修證,才能不再固著在某種觀點上、某種經驗模式,而能如實了知當下的真相。.本書彙整當今最重要的四部論注:《無畏論》、《佛護注》、《般若燈論》、《淨明句論》的精華詳解,澈見《中論》每個論證背後的脈絡與理路,是般若智慧的極致詮釋。錯誤的見地一旦斷除,輪迴不需捨棄,涅槃不需他求,當下即解脫!印度佛教論師龍樹菩薩以「八不」中道為思想核心,提出「27觀」來論證萬物的真假虛實,將小乘佛教,乃至其他學派對「究竟真實」所持的假設及見解各個擊破,確立佛教核心「緣起」的深義。「八不」中道指出一切萬法「緣起性空」,是「不生不滅」、「不常不斷」、「不一不異」、「不來不去」。這四組相對的概念:生滅、常斷、一異、來去,正是阻擋我們看凊事物真相的罩門。本書詳解龍樹菩薩《中論》27道題的論證,彙整當今最重要的四部論注:《無畏論》、《佛護注》、《般若燈論》、《淨明句論》的精華詮釋,清楚闡述了龍樹的思想背景,以及每個論證背後的脈絡與理路,讓複雜的思辨系統及佛法要義背後的哲學論點深入心髓。
