是見受不?2
有讀者說:還以為我會把「一切法不受」,解釋一下。
這個問題的範圍涉及層面太廣大,
下面AI的資料看起來好像就已經是解釋,事實上是完全不對的,
試想;一個把印度學問全部精研過的大學問家,
提出「一切法不受」,
這句話代表他經得起印度各思想家提出的詰難(質疑與挑戰)。
(長爪梵志:約西元前6世紀至前5世紀的人物,
外號由來: 因與姐姐(舍利弗之母)辯論落敗,
發誓不精通一切學問絕不剪指甲,導致指甲留得極長,
故被當時人稱為「長爪梵志」,意指留長指甲的修行者)。
這裡面有演算過的思想,有經得起詰難的思考,
我個人認為,印度提出的邏輯思想,包含禪定裡面的生理與心理活動,是世界上其他民族不曾涉及的,
印度文化在禪定裡面把人體跟心理活動,演化成他們自己特殊的見解,
而這些見解似乎不是表面文字,就能解釋完的,
除了發展禪定以外,其中的思想邏輯對辯也是他們的文化特色,要在這一系列的精密思考裡面辯論勝出,是非常不容易的,
而這些背景被簡化成有邊、無邊,還有佛教的中道思想,
這種簡化掩蓋了實體思想的內容,
如果把這些內容再變成,他為什麼認為是「有」?
又為什麼是認同「無」?或是「中道」?
這些想法內容裡面要界定與成立什麼?
這樣思考範圍就加大了!
後代的學佛者,能在這些用印度邏輯配合人體跟心理範圍的修持活動中,得到什麼滋潤,都是可以想一想的。
但要在這邊解釋這些,恐怕是辦不到的。
(但我寫過的佛法裡面,也大部分解答了)

(以下AI資料)
在佛陀時代,印度思想界處於「百家爭鳴」的混亂期。當時有一派學者認為,任何關於世界本質的定論(如:世界有常、無常、有邊、無邊)都是一種束縛。
• 不落兩邊:為了不被任何觀點扣住,「一切法不受」成為一種防禦性的哲學立場。
• 心理動機:他們認為只要產生「見解」(View/Opinion),就會產生執著與煩惱。因此,最保險的方法就是宣告「我不接受任何觀點」
Do You Hold That View? 2
A reader suggested that I might explain the statement “not accepting any dharmas.”
However, the scope of this issue is extremely broad.
The AI Data below may appear explanatory, but it is in fact fundamentally inaccurate.
Just consider this:
a great scholar who had mastered the entire body of Indian knowledge
put forward the statement “not accepting any dharmas.”
Such a statement implies that he could withstand challenges from all other thinkers of his time.
(Long-Claw Brahmin: a figure roughly dated to the 6th–5th century BCE.He earned his nickname after losing a debate with his sister—Śāriputra’s mother—and vowing not to cut his nails until he had mastered all knowledge. His nails grew extremely long, hence the name.)
This statement reflects not a casual assertion, but a conclusion reached through rigorous reasoning and stroang debate.
In my view, Indian thought developed very advanced systems of logic, including detailed observations of both the body and the mind in meditation.
Other cultures have rarely explored this to the same depth.
Indian meditation traditions formed unique ideas about how the body and mind function.
These ideas cannot be fully explained by superficial linguistic explanation.
Beyond meditation itself, dialectical reasoning and debate were also central cultural features.
To prevail within such a refined system of thought is no easy task.
Yet over time, all this has been simplified into categories such as “finite” and “infinite,” or into the Buddhist idea of the Middle Way.
Such simplifications conceal the substance of the original thought.
If we instead ask:
Why did they assert “existence”?
Why did they affirm “non-existence”?
Why propose the “Middle Way”?
What exactly were they trying to define and establish?
Then we can see how wide this topic really is.
For modern Buddhist practitioners, it is worth thinking about what we can learn from these traditions that combine logic with deep inner practice.
A full exposition of these issues is not feasible here.
(Though much of it has already been addressed in my own writings on the Dharma.)
Master Banji
AI Data:
During the Buddha’s time, the Indian intellectual world was in a state of intense diversity, with many competing schools of thought. One group of thinkers held that any fixed conclusion about the nature of the world—such as whether it is permanent or impermanent, finite or infinite—becomes a kind of limitation.
• Avoiding extremes: In order not to be bound by any single viewpoint, they proposed the idea of “not accepting any dharmas” as a defensive philosophical strategy.
• Psychological motive: They believed that the moment one forms a “view” or opinion, attachment and mental suffering follow. Therefore, the safest approach was to say, “I do not accept any view.”
