The present book collects various research papers by Bhikkhu Anālayo with translations of Madhyama-āgama discourses and a comparative study of their Pāli parallels, together with a brief discussion, found in the appendix, of the school affiliation of the Madhyama-āgama and its relation to the Majjhima-nikāya. The main emphasis in these studies is on detecting possible transmission errors in the Pāli versions through the help of the parallel Madhyama-āgama discourse. Topics taken up in the course of the different studies are the Buddha’s decision to teach, the role of investigation in early Buddhism, the notion of a recluse, the relationship between tranquillity and insight, the lateness of the dictum that a woman cannot be a Buddha, the beginnings of the Abhidharma, meditation on emptiness in early Buddhism, the development of the arahant ideal, the canonical account of the founding of the order of nuns, and the relationship between karma and liberation.

你是個對孩子盡心盡力,卻仍為教養問題頭疼的家長嗎?本書檢視自尊與自信的真義,重新為「優秀」下定義,為你帶來最具深度與啟發的教養智慧。近幾十年來,過度強調「自尊」與「個體特殊性」的教育思潮風行,讓許多父母認為:只要給予大量讚美、鼓勵與優勢,孩子就能擁有良好的自尊、快樂的童年,以及成功的未來。但是,家長的「好意」,反而可能讓孩子落入危害自主與自信的「自尊陷阱」。落入自尊陷阱的症狀包括:耽溺於自我、追求傑出的壓力、不滿足、無法負起成人的責任等。它阻礙孩子實際認知、接納一己的長處與短處,而這恰恰是健全自尊的真正基礎。本書作者為榮格心理分析家,她從大量的訪談、研究,以及佛法汲取智慧,直指當今教養的重大盲點,她發現:成功與快樂的關鍵不是做個「特別」的人,而是體認做個「凡人」的真義,發展慈悲心,以洞悉人類相互依存的真相,成為人類社群的一份子。當今年輕人所面臨的困境與挫折,在書中亦有抽絲剝繭的分析,因此本書不僅為父母而寫,也是為這一整個年輕世代的療癒而寫。
