終點 2 Destination 2

For us, we have made it very clear what our goal is in the article "Science and Buddhism." What our destination looks like in the article "Liberated." We also have been very clear on how to get there.

〈科學與佛學〉說過我們的目標,也在〈解脫〉描述了我們的目的地,修行法門已經很清楚的解釋了。

Buddhism's important concepts can all be encapsulated in Śūnyatā, Nidānas. anicca, anattā. These are really simple concepts. You don't need to consider them to be transcendental, mystical or even divine. These are simple observations about us and the world around us using archaic words from thousands of years ago. We could have used "Programmable", "State Diagrams", "Clocked Mealy Machine" and "Self-modifying program" to describe these observations just as well. (These words probably makes more sense for software engineers.) Or we could use "Changeable", "Laws of Changes", "Changes of the World", "Changes of Self". It doesn't matter what words we use, it's all the same.

佛學的重要概念都可放在「空」、「因缘」、「無常」和「無我」裡。這些都是非常簡單的概念,您不需對它們有任何超然、神秘,甚至神聖的感覺。它們都只是對我們和世界的觀察,用幾千年前古老文化寫出來的字。現在,我們可以用「可編程式」、「狀態圖」、「同步米利型狀態機」和「自我修改程式碼」來形容這些觀察 (這些詞對軟體工程師較有意義)或用「易變」、「變的規律」、「世界的變」和「我的變」來替換,其實都一樣。

These concepts are not hard to understand, but hard to empirically understand.

這些概念很容易了解,但很難體會。

Philosophy of Buddhism is unlike other philosophy in the world. It is meant to be practiced and realized in the real world. We encourage everyone to try to understand this and to live it.

佛教哲學不同於世上其他哲學,在於它是可以在現實世界中實行的,我們鼓勵大家去嘗試明白這一點。

At this point in our Blog, Master Ban Ji and I have agreed that we have written enough about the theoretical aspects of Practice and our views. To write any more will probably only obfuscate the simple concepts of Buddhism and Practice further.

在這個階段,半寄師父和我都同意,此部落格已經有足夠佛教修行方面的理論了,再寫下去,可能會把簡單的概念反而混淆了。

After today, the articles will mostly be Master Ban Ji's miscellaneous notes, and my personal experiences. Unless there are specific questions, we will probably not talk too much about the theory.

所以,之後的文章將會是半寄師父的雜記,和我個人的經驗分享,除非讀者有疑問,我們盡可能不寫太多理論。
