《以法为礼》是近代有影响力的南传佛教大师，泰国公认的阿罗汉成就者阿姜查·须跋多（1918-1992年）有关“法”以及相关内容的教导。阿姜查大师年轻时研究过基础佛法、戒律，以及经典，后随当地禅定大师修习。他依苦行僧的传统方式生活达数年，曾和本世纪伟大的禅师阿姜曼度过一段开悟性的时光。他的教导方式简明，含义却深远。他善于用日常周遭事物引出佛法实意，令弟子们开解，也因此吸引了不少西方人从他受教。书名《以法为礼》是阿姜查某一次开示的主题。在这篇教导和其他篇章中，阿姜查大师强调了随时保持“正念”和清明、训练心理对修行的重要性，他也教导人们禅修时保持“空心”和专注呼吸的方法。
The late author Arysio Santos was a highly regardedclimatologist, geologist, and nuclear physicist. He was also ascholar of history, folklore, languages, and the occult. In thisgroundbreaking study of Atlantis, he draws on all thesedisciplines, as well as ancient maps, Plato’s dialogues, andfolkloric narratives, to provide the most compelling case yet ofthe disappearance of an entire civilization. Professor Santos demonstrates that Plato’s dating of Atlantis’sdisappearance in 11,600 BP (before present) precisely correspondsto the catastrophic end of the Pleistocene Ice Age, as well as ahistoric flood event of cataclysmic proportions. The rising of thesea level by nearly 500 feet, he argues, submerged continent-sizedlands—including Atlantis, which he connects with the biblicalGarden of Eden. Provocative chapters cover such topics as thecontinent’s appearance in ancient maps, Indonesia as the true siteof Eden, American interpretations of Atlantis, the four rivers ofparadise, and more, giv
本书是作者17篇文章(包括一篇访谈)的汇集，这些文章并非一时之作，所以在形式上也不是一本有着系统构思的专著。但全书确实有着内在的关联：通过启蒙反思，消解人类中心主义的价值观，为全球化语境下的价值多元化和文化本土化提供理论的支持。通过对全球化与本土化关系的反复申辩，既充分尊重多元化与本土化，又申明对全球化共同价值追求的必要，于是文明对话便成为必然。文明对话为全球化与本土化的和谐互动保驾护航，也激励了本土文化与传统文明在面对各种全球性重大问题时作出积极的回应，儒家传统的人文精神即可为这种回应提供丰富的价值资源。
