Walk around, contemplating nature and being mindful of your breath, and you will enjoy a purified, united body and mind, and experience a pure land on earth.1.環保之美The Beauty of Environmentalism法鼓山在創建之初,即秉持心靈環保精神,尊重自然、保護生態,在盡量不破壞山林環境的原則下,進行育樹、溪流整治等工程;並使用環保建材、節能系統,以及雨水再利用等設計,達到資源永續的目的。讓各種原生動物與植物,皆可在此共存共榮。Since its initial planning stage, Dharma Drum Mountain has followed the principles of protecting the spiritual environment and respecting the natural ecology. By keeping the surroundings intact, transplanting trees, conducting dredging work, using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems, and recycling rain water, resource sustainability has been achieved, allowing native animals and plants to thrive.2.禪悅境教An Environment that Inspires Chan Joy法鼓山園區的自然景觀與人文建築相互融合,充分發揮環境教育的功能,讓前來參訪的人們,透過觀賞外境景物,觀照自己的內心世界,達到內外皆自在的體悟。當身心全然放鬆,與環境合而為一,就能身自在,心自在,體驗福慧自在的禪悅。 At the Dharma Drum Mountain complex, the landscaping and humanistic style architecture are perfectly blended to serve as an education tool, allowing visitors to appreciate natural views while contemplating their minds, and thus realize freedom within and without. This leads to a relaxed body and mind, uniting with the environment as one, experiencing the blessings, wisdom, and ease of Chan delight.

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。
