《中觀論》The Doctrine of the Middle Way

南禪朋友好！

       以後講解《中觀論》的「空」觀點一定會運用新的思維方式。 

這是隨著時代演變而出現的新解釋。我個人覺得很好，

佛法的「空」思維必須處理與理解我（無我）的存在，及時間的經驗問題，於我個人而言只有沉浸其間，絕不厭倦。

禮敬龍樹菩薩

由衷感謝日本佛學者對研究與接軌時代的佛法做出的貢獻，

謝謝

The Doctrine of the Middle Way

 

Greetings, friends of Nan Zen!

In further discussing the meaning of emptiness in the doctrine of the

 middle way, it will be necessary to adopt a new way of thinking.

It’s a modern mode of interpretation which accords with recent

 trends in thought, and I’m fine with that.

In approaching the Buddhist idea of emptiness, it’s necessary to also

 have a clear understanding of what’s meant by “self” and “not-self,”

 as well as our experience of time. It’s a topic I never get tired of.

For our understanding of this topic, we owe a debt of gratitude to Nagarjuna,

as well as to the various Japanese scholars who have done a

 marvelous job of integrating contemporary modes of inquiry into the

 academic study of Buddhism.
