Chan is not necessarily any one thing, nor does Chan affirm or deny anything. However, whatever you need, Chan gives to you.
For regular meditators, this book provides basic sitting meditation techniques. Exceptionally busy people are advised to try and use the Chan cultivation methods in this book to harmonize themselves, and dissolve their attachment to "self." From relaxing the body and mind for as little as three minutes to attending to body and mind throughout daily life, these methods show the simplicity and practicality of expedient Chan methods.--Master Sheng Yen

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。
