現代的西方與日本佛學研究,有飛躍的發展,成就驚人,特別以文獻學的研究為然。這些研究,是不同方法的運用的結果。本書是介紹與評論這些研究法的專著,分為文獻學方法、考據學方法、思想史方法、哲學方法、維也納學派方法、京都學派方法、符號邏輯方法、實踐修行法和白描法等多種,也加上作者自己提出的現象學方法和詮釋學方法。對於每種研究法的運用,都有相應的研究論文作示例。
作者並提出其個人觀點,認為理想的佛學研究法,應為文獻學與哲學雙軌並進的研究法。對於現代佛學研究的觀念與理論,本書亦有深入的闡釋與反省,並廣泛地介紹和評論西方與日本的佛學研究的成果。

本書為研究印度佛學之論文結集,收入專題論文九篇,探討之題材包括佛陀傳、原始佛教、《法華經》、《維摩經》、中觀學及佛教與邏輯之關係各項。所用之方法為文獻學與哲學雙軌並進之研究法,以原典文獻為依據,運用哲學解析並現代人熟悉之詞彙,剖析印度佛學之義理。此種方法,在國際方面,為維也納學派所擅長,專用以研究佛教之知識論問題。本書則擴展其應用範圍,及於印度佛學之一般題材之研究,特別是中觀學方面。書中各篇論文皆有相當分量,惟特重印度佛學中之論證方式及邏輯思考方法,於印度佛學之可與西方哲學相比較與相印證之處,尤多措意。堪為目前國內較少見之印度佛學專著。

如果內心不是大腦的產物,如果死亡後仍有某種意識的存在,那麼,我們到底是誰?在宇宙中是怎樣的存在?又該如何度過此生?瀕死經驗研究權威五十年的心血,繼《死後的世界》的重磅巨作,雷蒙.穆迪博士(Raymond Moody)稱此書為「即將成為瀕死經驗研究中的經典」。本書作者布魯斯.葛瑞森醫師是瀕死經驗科學研究的奠基者,他一九八○年代開發的瀕死經驗量表被翻譯成二十多種語言,成為全世界瀕死經驗研究的標準工具。他開辦且編輯的同儕審閱期刊──《瀕死研究期刊》,被譽為「關於這個主題的理性研究的發源地」。五十年前,葛瑞森醫師還只是一名菜鳥精神科醫師時,遇到了一位自殺未遂的女大學生,這段奇妙的經歷,徹底改變了他對人的心和大腦的看法,讓他開始質疑:人究竟是什麼?當時女大學生明明是完全失去意識地躺在病房內,但第二天醒來之後,卻能指證歷歷地說出葛瑞森與另外一位同學在數百公尺外大廳內的談話內容,和葛瑞森領帶上的義大利麵醬汙漬。這樣的故事或許現在聽來並不特別,但在五十年前卻相當驚世駭俗,而且像這名女大學生這樣的例子不只一個。隧道、光、飄浮、遇到過世親人、聽到不可能聽到的談話內容……這些是許多擁有瀕死經驗的人共同的經歷。為什麼意識離開了大腦還能運作?如果意識不是大腦運作的產物,那意識是什麼?人,究竟是這個身體,還是意識?葛瑞森發現,他無法對這些例子視而不見,他必須以科學的方式重新思索心和腦之間的關係,探討我們的意識是否能夠超越死亡。歷經五十年的研究,他寫下《死亡之後》這本書,提出他對此疑問的答覆。「我希望證明科學和靈性是相容的,對靈性的嚮往不代表需要放棄科學。」葛瑞森說。從科學的角度而言,透過科學方法來研究瀕死經驗,能讓我們更宏觀地了解世界上無形的種種,科學得以跳脫物質和能量的侷限,更精確地描述現實。而另一方面,體會靈性和無形的事物,也並不代表我們不能以科學的角度,來評估自己的經驗,以證據做為信念和理解的基石。瀕死經驗沒有理由不能既是靈性上的禮物,也是特定的生理過程。這是葛瑞森提出的第二個答覆。書中節錄了一個個當事人記憶中的瀕死經驗,以及瀕死經驗如何讓他們提升了自我的靈性和覺察,帶來深刻的改變。而探究這些故事也改變了葛瑞森,改變了他看待科學的角度和他自己,從而變得更寬容、更平靜、不那麼害怕死亡,也更活在當下。瀕死經驗對當事人很重要,因為它改變了當事人的人生;對科學家也很重要,因為對於心和腦,瀕死經驗提供了重要的線索;但對所有人來說,最重要的是,瀕死經驗告訴我們何謂死亡和臨終,何謂生命和活著。本書獻給對人類不可思議的心智感到好奇的讀者,和想對生死提出更深層問題的人。

This is the fourth volume of proceedings of the Āgama seminars convened by the Āgama Research Group at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (formerly Dharma Drum Buddhist College). It comprises nineteen studies, contributed by eighteen different scholars, on various themes related to the Connected Collections of discourses (suttas, sūtras) — Saṃyutta-nikāya in Pali, Saṃyukta-āgama in Sanskrit — transmitted by different early Buddhist lineages of reciters, preserved in their Indic originals in Gandhari, Pali and Sanskrit as well as in Chinese and Tibetan translations. This research draws attention to fundamental methodological points posed by the study of these scriptural collections as windows into the formation of early Buddhist texts and the organisation of their transmission.

The present book collects research papers by Bhikkhu Anālayo related to Vinaya. Recurrent topics are the nature of Vinaya narrative and the overlap between discourse and Vinaya material, both of which have significant ramifications for the use of such textual material by the modern scholar. In addition, topics taken up in the course of this book are the legal consequences of pārājika, the mass suicide of monks, the tale of Vessantara's lavish giving, the impact of the account of the first saṅgīti on attitudes towards Vinaya rules, the account of the foundation of the order of bhikkhunīs, and the legal dimensions of the revival of the bhikkhunī order.

This is the second volume of proceedings of the Āgama seminars convened by the Āgama Research Group at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (formerly Dharma Drum Buddhist College). On this occasion, the Āgama Research Group met to discuss the early collections of long discourses transmitted by the different Buddhist schools. Thanks to the discovery and ongoing publication of the incomplete Sanskrit Dīrgha-āgama manu¬script from Gilgit, three different versions of the Collec¬tion of Long Discourses are now avail¬able for comparative study: the Pali Dīgha-nikāya transmitted within the Theravāda tradition, the just-mentioned Dīrgha-āgama in Sanskrit, identified as Sar¬vās¬ti-vāda or Mūlasarvāstivāda, and the Chinese translation of an Indic Dīrgha-āgama (長阿含經), generally considered to be affiliated with the Dhar¬ma¬¬guptakas. The six papers collected here focus on research on these various incarnations of the collections of long discourses in comparative perspective.
