讀書會問題Discussion Topics for Tomorrow’s Study Group

明天下午3點讀書會問題

 

半寄：如果沒有人提問，我們可以討論如何不生瞋恨，

還有慢心在修道中的重要。

 

這一些容易被歸類為道德或修養

其實這裡面要釐清是最困難的。

 

下面截圖是智美老師早上寫的，

 

經典一直講色患，色苦，

那是因為他們要把肉體直接解脫，不要了，

 

但是人要活著，基本上面臨的困難是超乎想像的，

 

當面對生病的肉體，要解決就沒有那麼簡單。

 

就像我們的醫學也是幾萬年以後才到達這樣的進步。

 

我們現在研究佛法，

觀點應該要深廣來解釋。

少子化問題，我本來是開玩笑，有人認真起來了哈😄

Discussion Topics for Tomorrow’s Study Group

 

Banji:
If no one raises any questions during tomorrow’s session, we might explore two themes: how to keep ourselves free from anger, and why arrogance plays such an essential role in spiritual cultivation.

These topics are often mistaken for matters of morality or personal refinement, yet in truth, understanding them clearly is among the most difficult parts of the path.

 

The screenshot below shows what Ms. Zhimei wrote this morning.

The scriptures often speak of the body’s afflictions and sufferings. That’s because, in ancient times, practitioners wanted to be completely liberated by discarding the body.

 

However, for those of us still living in this world, the challenges we face go far beyond imagination.

 

Curing an ill person is never that simple.

 

Just as it has taken humankind tens of thousands of years to achieve today’s level of medical advancement, our study of Buddhism should likewise deepen and broaden in scope.

As for my comment on the issue of declining birth rates—it was meant as a joke, but someone took it rather seriously, haha. 😄
