很難理性Hard to Remain Rational

 很難理性

我以為點閱率在下降，因為畢竟是理論性的內容。
跳出10萬來，還是有一些欣慰！

讀者很熱心，希望我再寫出的大德很多在此感謝，
但也要考慮到是不是要有一些反芻的空間，

像台南讀書會提出佛經真偽的問題，其實我都已解釋得很清楚，
大家要上班，外加兩個月才一次都忘光了！

我比較歡迎，有讀我寫過的佛法文章，然後再來討論，是否利益比較大？

我每寫一篇，就一堆人跳出來罵我，

我曾到台灣中部的南傳道場，門口大大的寫著南傳是來救北傳佛法的。
但實際講課的內容也一般而已，

那為什麼我被圍毆成這樣呢？

佛法歷史演變的事實，是花很多心血找出的，
不是我決定的。

Hard to Remain Rational

 

I thought my readership was declining due to the theoretical nature of my writing.

Then it suddenly reached 100,000 views—somewhat reassuring.

 

Many readers are supportive and encourage me to continue. I am grateful.

Still, there should be room for reflection.

 

At the Tainan study club, questions about the authenticity of Buddhist texts were raised.

I have already explained this clearly, but with work and infrequent meetings, people forget.

 

I prefer discussions with those who have read my previous Dharma writings—this would be more beneficial.

 

Yet each time I publish, many people criticize me.

 

I once visited a Theravāda center in central Taiwan. A large sign claimed it had come to “save” Mahayana Buddhism.

In reality, the teachings were quite ordinary.

 

So why am I being attacked so heavily?

 

The historical development of Buddhism is based on careful research and effort—

it is not something I determined.
