佛教禪修傳統研究視野與思想交流,是近年來世界佛教學術研究的重要新趨勢,法鼓文理學院於二○一四年十月舉辦「佛教禪修傳統:比較與對話」國際研討會,邀請德國、比利時、義大利、美國、印度、日本、臺灣等地學者,就不同面向深入探討佛教禪修議題。
本論文集精選此次國際研討會中七篇論文,內容涵蓋早期佛教文獻對第二禪的探討、南北大眾部對於禪修中定心與頓悟的比較、禪修中的性格分類、印度與中國佛教教義與禪修經驗的比較、觀經變相圖的比較研究、看話禪的研究,以及中國禪宗詩偈於生命教育之應用初探。
藉由傳統與現代議題對談,呈現多元面貌的理論與實踐方式,提供禪修研究新的觀點。

法鼓山之美IVThe Beauty of Dharma Drum Mountain
步道之美.義工之美 The Beauty of the Trails and Volunteers
走入法鼓山世界佛教教育園區,看山、觀水、聽風、賞花,每一條路都詩意盎然、風景如繪,都是眾人願力所共同成就。漫步美好的山徑,步步清涼、步步安定;感恩美好的願心,念念光明、念念平安。自由自在走出一片人間淨土好風光!Enter the Dharma Drum Mountain World Center for Buddhist Education, where you can take a walk in the poetic and scenic trails, meditating on the mountain, contemplating the water, listening to the wind, and appreciating the flowers. Enjoy your steps filled with calm and serenity, and experience a mind of gratitude reflecting inner peace, rediscovering ease and freedom in a pure land on earth.
1.步道之美The Beauty of the Trails緩步於法鼓山步道,慢慢地放鬆身心、收攝身心、安定身心、放下身心。在潺潺水聲環繞、花木扶疏輝映的步道上,體驗禪法,淨化身心,與大自然合而為一。果然走路即是環保,走路即有健康,走路就是修行。塵勞頓消,身心舒適!Stroll the trails to relax, settle, and let go of body and mind. Experience Chan and enjoy a purified body-mind at one with nature accompanied by gurgling water and along the flowery verdant trails. Walking helps the environment; walking helps keep you healthy; and walking is in itself a practice. All your stress is released and your body and mind is refreshed.
2.義工之美The Beauty of Volunteers沒有義工,就沒有法鼓山。法鼓山園區的一草一木、一石一土,每一次禪修、每一個活動,都是眾願所成。在義工們的身上,可以看見最真誠、最質樸的生命力,不分你我、同心同願,一起成就美麗的人間淨土!Dharma Drum Mountain could not exist without volunteers, who have contributed to every blade of grass and plant, every piece of rock and soil, every Dharma assembly and service, as well as every Chan practice activity and retreat. They manifest a down-to-earth and sincere energy, by sharing the same aspiration and committing to a common goal: to build a wonderful pure land on earth.
