賀新年
新的一年，感謝部落格能讓我寫一些想法，很多佛教徒都抱怨我，沒有說佛經，比如: 第一句話開口就要說；如是我聞，或阿彌陀佛。
常常我不知道如何跟佛教徒說話，只好訴諸黨外( 哈 ! )，去年意外的可以把我寫的一些看法，藉出版社流通出去，也算是託大家的福。
還沒出家前，喜歡看哲學，常拿著看不懂的尼采去問德國神父，我不是天主教徒，又年輕，敢胡言亂語，卻總感受到一種寬容的對待，那時覺得尼采好囉嗦 ! 神父沒責備我，竟敢批評尼采，也沒說皈依天主才是真理，七十幾歲的神父像春天陽光般，照耀過我的生命。
感覺中，自己曾經在一種自由自在的思想裡倘佯過，進了佛門，才發覺標榜智慧的佛學，竟被傳播的灰灰暗暗，自由思想不見消失，又好像被罩了金鐘罩一般，動彈不得，我始終無法釋懷，佛學被傳播的如此狹隘。
能有可以傳達聲音的部落格，還是一句謝謝大家 ! 願南禪精舍部落格的朋友，2015年羊洋得意 !
半寄
At the beginning of a new year, I would like to appreciate your support for this blog, allowing me to share my opinions here. Many Buddhists in Taiwan complain that I don’t talk much about Buddhist scriptures. For example, I don’t initiate my talk with ‘Thus have I heard.’ or ‘Amitabha Buddha.’
I often find it difficult for me to talk to Buddhists, resulting in my having to talk to non-Buddhists. (Ha! Ha!)Thanks to all of you, I was able to write something and propagate them in publication by chance last year. And I am so grateful for this.
I used to enjoy reading on philosophy before taking the tonsure. I turned to a German priest whenever I cameacross questions about Friedrich Nietzsche. I wasn’t a Catholic. I was young and reckless in expressing mythinking, but I was treated tolerantly. I considered Nietzsche wordy and nagging then. The priest neitherscolded me for criticizing Nietzsche nor advocated believing in God the only truth. The 70 or so-year-old priest lighted up my life like spring sunshine.
It seemed that I had strolled in the world of free thinking once. However, after I actually became a nun, I found it a pity that Buddhism, which boasted wisdom, had been transmitted so gloomily. Free thinking in Buddhismwas gone, only making practitioners restricted and unable to move, like being covered by a golden shield. Ifeel it intolerable along the way that Buddhism evolves to become so narrow-minded and blinkered.
Once again, I am grateful for your support and thus having a blog to express myself on. Thank you, all the friends of my blog. May all go well with you and all of you have your moments in 2015.
