大家好！

 

臺灣高雄市文獻會洪前主委招祥退休後很用功。

 

師父 ：

請教有業報無作者，

以瀑布來形容 那如此體會適當嗎？

業報指瀑布 ，

作者指流水不斷隨時間推移了 ，

所以是無作者吧！

請指導 ，謝謝🙏

 

半寄：

招祥居士從對佛法《中觀論》完全的陌生，

到今天可以聽懂「本體觀點」的突破，佩服之至。

 

整理ㄧ下

依據《中觀論》；

現象界除了運用世俗名稱認知以外，不存在本體-性空緣起。

Greetings, friends of NanZen!

 

Mr. Hong Zhaoxiang, former director of the Kaohsiung City Archives, has been working very hard on his Buddhist studies since retirement.

 

Dear Master,

I’d like to ask about the idea “the results of karma exist, but not the doer thereof”.

Can we use a waterfall as an example to understand this?

The karmic result is like the waterfall,

and the “doer” is like the unceasing and ever-changing flow of water over time.

So does that mean there’s really no fixed person behind the karma?

I humbly ask for your advice. 🙏

 

Banji adds:

Lay practitioner Hong Zhaoxiang, once completely unfamiliar with the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, but has now come to grasp profound ideas like the “view of ultimate reality.” Truly admirable progress.

 

To summarize:

The Middle Way teaches that everything we see and experience doesn’t have a fixed essence. Things only exist because we give them names and all things are śūnyatā in nature and arise dependently.

 

Master Banji
