《Reading》

is a joy, and delving deeply into the Buddhist scriptures is the finest way for sentient beings to personally savor the nectar of the Dharma. Through sharing and discussion with fellow members of the reading group, we broaden the horizons of the Buddha’s teachings.
With the Dharma in our lives, we find peace and ease; with the Dharma in society, we cultivate respect and inclusiveness; and only with the Dharma in the world can there be true peace, free from conflict.

To uphold Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s idea of incorporating reading into our daily life, Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations oblige Buddhists to pick up Buddhist sutras. The gradual and step by step process helps uncover the truth within Buddhism. It creates enduring learning through different life stages. The group discussions also bring forth the wisdom of collective creation and enhance our religious belief.

“Reading” is an enjoyment. Studying the sutras is the best way to learn Buddhism. Through discussions, we open up the dimensions of Buddhism. With Buddhism, life will be harmonious and free. With Buddhism, society will have respect and tolerance. With Buddhism, the world will be peaceful.Hence, “incorporating reading into our daily life” is not only the mission of Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations, but also the responsibility of all.

作者 滿濟法師 出版社 香海文化 作者簡介 出生多雨的基隆。集聰明和笨拙於一身,聰明在於六歲就會翻字典,上學後,懂得在作業本上的名字,把筆劃太多的字改成簡體字,下場是,被老師罰寫整整二頁的「鳳」字,將近300個字。考試知道要考的剛剛好,名次排在中間,討厭被點名表揚,更怕被老師打手心的疼痛。笨拙的地方比燒餅還多,例如:在自家巷道也會迷路、不會削蘋果,包括任何有皮的水果,都難逃坎坷不平的命運。 二十四歲讀到佛陀的言教:一切眾生都具有如來智慧德相,驚奇於佛對生命廣闊的洞見;再讀到道生大師:一闡提都有佛性那激盪千古的溫柔一顆頑石,終於彎腰、點頭。二十五歲出家、受戒,瞎混日,今生只求安住大廟吃飯、睡覺。年過四十,心裡還有很多夢,希望學畫開畫展、希望走遍地球每個鄉鎮、希望製作佛教舞台劇,明知空想如焰如露如電如夢,依然天真的等待因緣的召喚。 出版品:高僧小說集《穿梭時空與大師交會》(香海)、詩文書《心靈清泉》(圓神)、出家心路歷程《小王子流浪記》(爾雅)、《雲水三千》、《浩瀚星雲》(如是我聞)音樂劇劇本及相關文案創作。 內容簡介 本書收錄滿濟法師1986年至2005年的心靈對話,記載著他人生的每一段偶遇的故事。這近二十年的「修行札記」,從第一篇投稿開始,爾後報章雜誌專欄、佛經故事、生活隨筆……。化身不同身分觀察人間事,嘗試以不同體裁的創作,勇敢的拋卻所有身分註記,希望讀者讀到的是與他感同身受,尤其對苦難的「悲憫」。 滿濟法師如此朗朗的告白:「這是寫作人的使命,為了令身心永保對苦難世間的悲憫,我必須勇於把這些殘缺的歷程寫下來,也為激勵身在翻騰啼悲的人們,無有諸苦解脫的彼岸就在覺醒的此刻。我成不了光芒照眼的金剛寶鑽,但願意將自己揉成卑賤的草紙,為眾生燃火、取暖。」 經過文學創作的淬鍊,滿濟法師不再追問極樂世界的地址,對極樂世界不再有神奇的渴望。因為,他覺得極樂世界不在過億萬國土,他願與人間一切眾生,共同付出熱情和愛,將走過的每寸土地都化為花香鳥語的人間淨土。極樂世界究竟在那裡?透過滿濟法師這本新書,讓我們找到了極樂世界的地址。
