佛法時間概念—後記
南禪讀書會昨天就物理、數學已經發展到極致的概念，做了激烈的討論。
喜歡科技的人們，覺得現代科技已經如此發達，《中觀—空》理論似乎失去了用處。
但我必須說：《中觀—空》理論與相關修行，
核心價值在於藉由「八不理論」破除我們對固著觀念的釐清，
進而達成修行者與閱讀者其思考能力的自我提升。
數學與物理學固然是了解世界的強大工具，但《中觀—空論法》在解構認知局限、轉化錯誤的觀點上，依然有其不可替代的獨特價值。
我們有成員提到：
佛學早在兩千多年前就提出了「無自性」（緣起性空）的洞察，
而現代科學發展至今（例如量子力學對物質非固定實體的發現），
才逐步驗證了類似的觀點。

The Concept of Time in Buddhism — Postscript
At yesterday’s NanZen study club, we engaged in a vigorous discussion on advanced concepts in physics and mathematics.
Some participants felt that, given the rapid progress of modern science and technology, the theory of Madhyamaka—Śūnyatā may no longer be necessary.
However, the essential value of this teaching and its practice lies in the “Eight Negations,” which dismantle fixed assumptions and sharpen one’s capacity for critical reflection.
Although mathematics and physics are powerful means of understanding the world, the Madhyamaka—Śūnyatāremains uniquely important in exposing the limits of cognition and transforming erroneous views.
A member also noted:
As early as two thousand years ago, Buddhism proposed the insight of “non-inherent nature” (dependent origination and śūnyatā). Modern science—such as quantum mechanics,
which reveals that matter is not a fixed entity—has only gradually approached similar insights.
For reference.
