禪宗3 Zen Buddhism 3

南禪朋友好!

禪宗3

      個人認為比禪宗的開悟更高明的是華人所立的祖師爺龍樹菩薩。

《中觀論》的「只破不立」精髓有佛法依止,有修持可為。

與此同時「只破不立」—無言可說,我的為難!

 

「只破不立」的精神ㄧ旦建立在修行者的基礎上,則為佛法修行

者的世界拉開另一序幕

 (禪宗1-3獻給廣大辛苦的佛教徒,很多人站在高端頂上,如果不是她,他們,我大概不會寫出來)

Zen Buddhism 3

 

Greetings, friends of NanZen!

In my personal view, even higher than the Zen concept of 

enlightenment is the wisdom of the Chinese Buddhist patriarch,

 Nagarjuna. The essence of his Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, its 

principle of ‘only negating, not affirming’, provides a clear 

foundation for Buddhist practice and offers a path for 

practitioners.

 

At the same time, the idea of ‘only negating, not affirming’-- 

there are no words to describe it —makes it difficult for me to 

explain!


Once the spirit of ‘only negating, not affirming’ is understood and 

practiced by a practitioner, it opens up a new realm in the world 

of Buddhist practice.

 

(These Zen reflections are dedicated to all the hardworking 

Buddhists. Many of them are at the highest levels of 

understanding, and if it weren’t for them, I might never write 

this.)

  

P.S. Only negating, not affirming’, i.e. just breaking through the 


old understanding, but not adding any new Buddhist doctrines to 


it.  


To practitioners who are interested in ‘only negating, not 


affirming’, further research on Mūlamadhyamakakārikā is


 recommended.
