Every brick and tile of the construct signifies the notion of reverence for life, harmony with nature, and the groundwork of establishing a pure land on earth.2.【佛像之美】單元長度:16分13秒 The Beauty of Buddha Images佛像之美,不僅在於其藝術價值,更在於它能讓觀者生起對佛法的信心、領悟佛菩薩的慈悲願力。法鼓山的佛菩薩垂目含笑,彷彿在溫柔地聆聽著眾生的煩惱和願望。古樸的造型,或立或坐,無不莊嚴。佛前的人們,不知不覺中將身心安定了下來,世界也美麗了起來……。The beauty of Buddha images are not only merely about the art works value, but also an inspiration serve to evoke in thefor viewers to give rise to the faith in the Dharma, enabling them to relate to and to feel compassionate vows of Buddhas and bodhisattvas’ compassion and vows. The images of Buddhas and bodhisattvas at Dharma Drum Mountain, with their eyes cast down and, smiling, represent manifest their tenderness tender heart in hearing the afflictions and wishes from all sentient beings. Modest and simple, Either standing or sitting, the modest and simple images radiate majesty and solemnness, enabling visitors to calm down theirthe body and mind of all visitors.
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!《勸發菩提心文》發心是修行的根本、生死解脫的關鍵,只要發菩提心,就有力量,無論在生活或修行上,皆能無往不利。
佛教藏經中關於菩提心的經論多達兩百餘部,當中文字簡潔、意旨深遠、最能感動人心者,當屬清代省庵大師所著的《勸發菩提心文》。此文旨在勸導眾生發起廣大菩提心,承擔上求佛道、下化眾生的菩薩行願,為歷來行者所推崇。本書重新詮釋此文,從現代視角出發,明確指出發心方向,並將菩提心細分為八類:邪正、真假、大小、偏圓,層次分明,義理精深。相較於其他佛經對發菩提心因緣的分類,文中所提出的十種「報恩發心」方式,更具實踐性與倫理意涵,契合當代人情與教育理念,展現出強烈的時代關懷,使發心成為真實修行的動力。本書突破傳統註解體例,融合現代生活經驗與心靈需求,彰顯菩提心在人間的實踐價值。於AI迅速發展、人心浮動的時代,期盼藉此引導佛弟子發願立志,破迷開悟,返歸菩提之道。
