這是兩個生命交會的故事在平凡的日常事件中體會阿姜查洞悉人性的智慧和幽默
一九七○年,憂悶的美國沙彌法拉般若已受了兩年戒,在曼谷的寺院裡仍鬱鬱寡歡。與阿姜查的會面改變了一切。法拉般若看見阿姜查像隻快樂的大青蛙坐在荷葉上,他心想,如果在森林裡靜坐個三十年,可以像阿姜查一樣,也是件值得做的事。他開始看到了希望。可是遇見一位師父並不代表問題都可解決,相反地,在森林中修習需要極大的勇氣:師父可能是世界上最慈悲的虐待狂,他用諷刺、玩笑、甚至修辱來去除弟子的習性,磨練弟子的信心;還有,對於一個習慣都市生活的人,森林中的氣候、物質條件也時時刻刻挑戰著忍耐程度……這是兩個生命交會的故事:師父和弟子之間的信任與衝突、東方和西方的交疊與矛盾。讀者可以進入難得一見的上座部僧侶生活,在看似平凡的日常事件中體會阿姜查洞悉人性的智慧和幽默。這本珍貴的求法紀錄和所收錄的照片,讓我們更貼近佛陀的生命,在出版前早已是阿姜查弟子私下流傳的經典。

This is the second volume of proceedings of the ?gama seminars convened by the ?gama Research Group at the Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (formerly Dharma Drum Buddhist College). On this occasion, the ?gama Research Group met to discuss the early collections of long discourses transmitted by the different Buddhist schools. Thanks to the discovery and ongoing publication of the incomplete Sanskrit D?rgha-?gama manuscript from Gilgit, three different versions of the Collection of Long Discourses are now available for comparative study: the Pali D?gha-nik?ya transmitted within the Therav?da tradition, the just-mentioned D?rgha-?gama in Sanskrit, identified as Sarv?stiv?da or M?lasarv?stiv?da, and the Chinese translation of an Indic D?rgha-?gama (長阿含經), generally considered to be affiliated with the Dharmaguptakas. The six papers collected here focus on research on these various incarnations of the collections of long discourses in comparative perspective.

「勇氣」是促進個人幸福感與改善世界的動力,我們需要勇氣以面對害怕、克服自身的不適任與缺陷、彼此關心、忍受痛苦,以及幫助我們與自己、家人、社會及全人類和諧共處。 「勇氣」是指在困難當頭仍冒險前行的意志。本書旨在展現個體心理學(Individual Psychology)創始者阿德勒(Alfred Adler)闡述的「工作、愛與友誼」三項生命任務中,「勇氣」是了解與鍛鍊心理健康的主要推力。作者希望從個體心理學的有利位置,貼近對「勇氣」的概念理解及使用。做為一項心理構件,「勇氣」在阿德勒式積極正向、現象學及務實做法上,對於我們了解人性、家庭的影響,以及我們如何滿於足工作、愛與社會需求的獨特方法,有最好的說明。 【名人推薦】 王浩威(臺灣心理治療學會理事長) 吳武典(國立台灣師範大學特殊教育學系名譽教授) 張德聰(台灣輔導與諮商學會理事長) 黃光國(國家講座教授) 黃宗堅(國立彰化師範大學輔導與諮商學系教授) 曾端真(國立台北教育大學心理與諮商學系教授兼教育學院院長) 趙淑珠(國立彰化師範大學輔導與諮商學系教授兼教育學院院長) 蕭 文(國立暨南國際大學輔導與諮商研究所所長) 一致推薦(以上按姓氏筆劃排列) ●作者簡介: 楊瑞珠(Julia Yang),美國俄亥俄州州立大學諮商員教育哲學博士,美國國家諮商師,現任教於伊利諾州立州長大學(Governors State University)諮商與心理學系教授,同時是伊利諾州諮商協會(ICA)的準理事長。她畢業於台彎台南師專及淡江大學,曾是國小美術老師,並在美國從事諮商員教育前,是一位職業重建諮商師。此外,她曾分別在位於旭朋斯堡的賓州州立大學以及位於夫勒斯諾市的加州州立大學任教,也是台灣國立高雄師範大學輔導與諮商研究所創所所長。她的研究興趣包括生涯發展、學校諮商、親職教育,是台彎華人十六種性格測驗工具之開發者。她在台灣及美國諮商心理學期刊與書籍出版了有關高危險群青少年、靈性議題以及文化層面實務工作之學術文章。她以曾為「阿德勒式」的單身母親並同時擁有兩位樂於分享教育、音樂、友愛、家庭、社會平等及上帝的寶貝為傲! 艾爾(Al Millren),美國伊利諾州立大學(香檳校區)教育博士,美國國家諮商師,艾爾從伊利諾州州立州長大學(Governors State University)諮商與心理學系退休,現為芝加哥阿德勒心理研究學院(the Adler School of Professional Psychology)之兼任教授。他亦是北美阿德勒心理學會(NASAP)之理事長(2010-2011)。艾爾曾任國中諮商師與教師、小學諮商師、伊利諾州立大學諮商學系所教授,及位於Permain Basin的德克薩司州立大學諮商學系教授。他是一位國際知名的阿德勒學者,並業已以第一作者或共同作者之身份出版了有關阿德勒心理學與相關主題的專書與無數的學術文章。他也是育有三個孩子的父親。 馬克.布雷根(Mark T.
