中觀27道題 Nagarjuna’s Middle Way: Greed and the Greedy

 

中觀27道題

南禪朋友好!

貪與貪染者

《中觀27道題》觀察貪與貪染者,67頁第6行直接點出「但是對

於阿毗達磨師而言,「人」不是勝義實有。

這裡也是《中觀論》的觀染染者品。

「人」不是勝義實有,換句話可以說「人」沒什麼好討論嗎?

(哈)說這話的中觀論師們有笑傲江湖的架式!

 記得苦讀《中論》時也是金庸小說的年代,

在苦悶的年代裡看到觀染染者都要拍案叫絕!

 而今《中觀27道題》的作者更直接指出論師的立場是「人」不是勝義,

我每次想到都要微笑好幾天!是啊!

憑什麼說大家都是貪婪者?

憑什麼說大家都有貪婪?

有人跟你的處境是不一樣的!(哈)

花的存在就是花,沒告訴「人」它的名字是貪。

而人的存在不是爲了貪染。「人」不是勝義,直接跳過染缸指出「人」的錯覺比較值得討論,令人神情愉悅!

Nagarjuna’s Middle Way: Greed and the Greedy

 Greetings, friends of NanZen!

Nagarjuna’s Middle Way Chapter 6: Rāga-raktaparīkṣā. observes afflictions and people who are afflicted. Greed and people who are greedy are also analyzed in Nagarjuna’s Middle Way:Mulamadhyamakakarika, and we read ‘but to Abhidhamma masters, “human (nature)” is not the ultimate truth or the permanent entity’ (Line 6, p 67).

 

‘Human nature’ is not the ultimate truth or the permanent entity. In other words, doesn’t it imply human nature doesn’t deserve so much attention? (Ha) The Middle Way masters who claim this can

Mulamadhyamakakarika, and we read ‘but to Abhidhamma masters, “human (nature)” is not the ultimate truth or the permanent entity’ (Line 6, p 67).

 ‘Human nature’ is not the ultimate truth or the permanent entity. In other words, doesn’t it imply human nature doesn’t deserve so much attention? (Ha) The Middle Way masters who claim this canindeed walk freely around the world as they wish.

 

It reminds me that it was also the era of Jin Yong's novels when I studied Nagarjuna’s Middle Way. In those depressing times, anyone who read of ‘observing afflictions and the afflicted.’ would be overwhelmed with admiration and shout ‘Bravo!’

And now, authors of Nagarjuna’s Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika supplement directly that Abhidhamma masters don’t think ‘human nature’ is the ultimate truth. I would have been smiling for days whenever I think of this statement!

Yes!

Who are you to say everyone is a greedy person?

On what grounds do you say everyone has greed?

There are people in different situations than you! (Ha!)

The flower exists simply as a flower, and it doesn't tell ‘humans’ that its name is greed.

Likewise, nor do humans exist for greed.

 That ‘human nature’ is not the ultimate truth helps Buddhist practitioners skip the defilements of human nature directly, and focusmore on (correcting) misconceptions of ‘human nature’. It is inspiring and cheerful!

Master Banji
