这本书由两部分组成:外国哲学部分和中国哲学部分。长期以来,我们只注重了“人生观”,忘记了“人死观”,不能实事求是地从社会科学角度研究死亡问题,更不能把死亡上升到世界观高度加以研究。围绕着死亡的各种问题,如死亡意识、灵魂不死、自杀、长寿和不朽等问题,可以追溯到整个哲学史和科学史。
我们经常为了迎合他人或减少所谓的麻烦,而做出违背自己初衷或本意的决定,放弃了自我,让自己陷入痛苦之中。但只有勇于说"不”,才能拒绝那些影响我们身体健康、心理健康和情感健康的人、事和想法。本书告诉你:你有说"不”的权利,你有拥抱充实人生的权利;你何时应该说"不”,如何善用说"不”的力量,让自己变得更好且更了解自己。除了阐述作者的人生感悟之外,书中每个章节都有相应的练习,帮助读者反思在该章节中学到的知识或深化某种感悟。
《以法为礼》是近代最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。
