內容簡介

內容簡介 Examples in the Buddhist tradition include the eighth verse of the MU amadhyamakakarika, which states, "Everything is real, not real, both real and not real, neither real nor not real; this is the teaching of the Buddha"; the sphere of neither perception nor non-perception(Bhavagra); and the passagein the Diamond Sutra which reads, ''No notion of self; no notion of person; no notion of sentient being; no notion of life span." Such negations are typical of Indian religious discourse, and indicate that negation of the world is its fundamental approach to spiritual cultivation; whether or not this is correct is another issue altogether. I'm not a scholar with a penchant for splitting hairs; my main concern is with presenting a correct understanding of Buddhist doctrine, so that it can serve as a reliable guide toactual practice. For example, when Buddhism first came to China, the Daoist term wu~ was used to translate the Sanskrit term siinyatii, yet such borrowing has caused a lot of confusion that still needs to be corrected, lest one's practice come to naught. Thus the primary motivation for this translation is to serve as a guide to Buddhist practice.

內文 : The Buddha often used the twelvefold chain of depedent origination (Pratītyasamutpāda) to both describe the conundrum of hu,an existence and to explain the way out of it. This formula plays a central role in Buddhist doctrine, and, in the usual order, consists of the following twelve links: ignorance , conditioning , consciousness, name-and-form, the six sense bases, contact, feeling, craving, attachment, becoming, birth, and aging-and-death.
In the fomula of dependent origination, ignorance is the underlying factor which conditions one’s future existence, but what precedes ignorance?
Some argue that prior to ignorance the mind is pure and luminous, and that ignorance later arises due to the defilements； yet the buddha-nature itself remains inherently pure. According to this perspective, by engaging in Buddhist practice we can clear away this ignorance and return to our original nature, the freedom and purity of our inherent buddha-nature. Others, however, hold that ignorance and its attendant darkness is beginningless, and therefore not easily transcended.
