十宗綱要-三論宗3-6
2009-07-14 & 15 No.3
課文第三章、三論要義第一、二節：破邪顯正、八不中道完。
中論第一品，八不中道總論介紹完畢。
2009-07-21 & 22 No.4
課文：真俗二諦。中論第一品：四門無生（不自生、不他生、不共生、非無因而生）。Ex: 福報從俗諦、真諦來看。
2009-07-28 & 29 No.5
三論宗課文完。十二門論第十品，「觀作者門」(自在天造萬物)論辯選錄(檔案在此)。由此可看出佛法思辯之清晰合理。
三論宗是十宗裏相當艱深的學問，中論、十二門論等也是古人智慧最高的表現，可惜目前甚少有人深入探索。見護目前找到一本百論的英譯，應是唯一的一本英譯，還是1929年一位意大利學者翻的。

三論宗介紹到此為止。百論摘錄，我們研讀了第一品「捨罪福品」，但沒有時間討論選錄的最後一品「破空品」。

These are some of Jianhu Shifu's "twits" from the past month.

The Supreme Way is difficult
Only for those who pick and choose
Let go of love and hate
The Way will reveal itself.
--Trust in Mind
In the US, 10 billion animals are raised and and killed every year. That's 27 million animals a day for our appetite. http://bit.ly/l6jzg
Health is the greatest possession, contentment the greatest wealth.
A trustworthy friend the greatest relation, nirvana the greatest happiness. -Dhammapada 204
Without conventional reality there is no absolute reality; without absolute reality there is no conventional reality.
As you accept praises, also be prepared to accept blame from the same source.
In walking meditation we are not trying to get somewhere; taking each step mindfully is the practice as well as the goal.
In Zen meditation we are not trying to achieve any goals, but simply to live each moment mindfully, calmly, and with clarity.
See first that you yourself deserve to be a giver, and an instrument of giving.
For in truth it is life that gives unto life--while you, who deem yourself a giver, are but a witness. -Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet"
"If we don’t change our direction, we are likely to end up where we are going." Chinese proverb
Monkeys live longer on low-calorie diet, a 20-year study shows. Will humans too? http://bit.ly/monkeydiet
In a thousand rivers A thousand moons appear Clear ten thousand clouds Come ten thousand miles of sky 千江有水千江月，萬里無雲萬里天。
Inside a box is square space; inside a cup is round space. Space is actually unlimited, if you can see beyond the box. So is our mind.
There is no fire like lust, and no crime like hatred. --Dhammapada 202
Being always mindful, we can maintain calmness, gain insights, and be our own masters. --Master Wei Chueh of Chung Tai Chan Monastery
When the wind changes direction, there are those who build walls and those who build windmills. --Chinese Proverb
"The trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be." -Paul Valery. What is your vision for our future?
Real compassion should be natural and unforced. It comes from the recognition that all sentient beings are fundamentally equal.
Zen is the mind of the Buddha.
The Zen way of dealing with anger is to simply observe your own anger. When you do, the anger no longer takes control over you.
Our body is like a river or a sand dune, constantly flowing, changing, exchanging with the environment. It is inseparable with nature.
"If all you'll ever do is all you've ever done, then all you'll ever get is all you've ever got." Texas Zen Proverb
What restless minds are seeking is a way to truly rest.
The best way to know yourself is from people who harshly criticize you.
When we understand our interconnection with the world and all beings, then living in an environmentally responsible way is natural.
