空論
最近感受到讀者對我解釋的《中論27道題》第七章,興趣很高昂,
都收到了!
讀書會的現場要解《中論》事實上挑戰很大,讀者要理解它是很困難的,
還好台南讀書會都是老師,會提醒我舉什麼例子來講解,他們會容易懂。🙏
塞在腦袋的課沒有先講完,「第八章」是出不來的,所以請耐心等待,
有佛學者想了解《中論》令人振奮,
這裡順道再提一個觀點,幾年前在我的讀書會上,
個人就說:《中觀論》的書名應該是《空論》,
「中觀」那是因為人都不能接受空,
所以硬要用「中觀」的理解,大家才能了解,
其實就是《空論》,
既然大家對《中觀論》這麼有興趣,
應該在自己的腦海先培養這種思緒,
「沒有中道你怎麼辦?」
這是你讀通《空論》大腦必須先有的認知。
提供參考。

大家好!
挑戰與回應
(本來不想回答這個問題,但是想想也不失是一個好話題)
早上一位朋友說:
用現代的物理、量子觀念很容易就接受沒有「中道」這一回事,
個人覺得也是這樣沒有錯,但很「容易」的說法,是很多科學歷經長路後的現代人思維!
但是似乎不是要探討這個問題,而是要探討一種衝擊內心價值感的問題。
比如說;
古代的觀念來講「空」的思維是不可能的,
所以要另外說是為了探討「中道」,所以才用「空」
說明每一種價值在大家的心裡都是一種不可挑戰的線條。
但由於佛法一直談到證悟的問題,
如果說我們對於接受衝擊是這麼容易的話,
則你的內心應該會存在一股力量才對,
這個才是問題所在。
有力量,怎麼走就自己清楚。

The Treatise on Śūnyatā
Greetings, friends of NanZen!
Recently, I’ve noticed great enthusiasm from readers regarding my explanation of Chapter 7 of Nagarjuna’s Middle Way: Mulamadhyamakakarika, I’ve received your feedback with gratitude!
Presenting Mūlamadhyamakakārikā in a study group setting is quite demanding. The concepts are deeply complex, making them difficult for readers to fully grasp.
Fortunately, the Tainan study club consists largely of teachers who help by suggesting practical examples, making the explanations easier to grasp.
Until I’ve resolved the material that’s been occupying my mind, Chapter Eight won’t be released—so I ask for your continued patience.
It’s exciting to see so many Buddhist scholars are interested in understanding Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.
On that note, I’d like to revisit a perspective I shared in our study club several years ago: the book The Middle Way (Mūlamadhyamakakārikā)
“Madhyamaka” or “Middle Way” is just a softer way to talk about " śūnyatā " because many people aren’t ready to accept the idea of "śūnyatā " directly. But at its core, the whole book is about " śūnyatā ".
If you're truly interested in Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, you should start cultivating this mindset in your own mind:
“What will you do if there is no Middle Way?”
This is the foundational awareness you must develop to truly understand The Treatise on Śūnyatā.
Hope this helps.
Master Banji
