There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no cessation of suffering, and no path There is no wisdom and no attainment
The Heart Sutra, just over a page long, distills the teachings of the Buddha to their purest essence Perhaps the best known of all Buddhist sutras, it is recited in Buddhist centers and monasteries around the world Emphasizing a living wisdom directly experienced, the schools of Chan have revered the Heart Sutra for its concise expression of the core realization of the Buddha.
There Is No Suffering is Chan Master Sheng Yen’s commentary on the Heart Sutru He speaks on the sutra from the Chan point of view, and presents it as a series of contemplation methods, encouraging readers to experience it directly through meditation and daily life In this way, reading the Heart Sutra becomes more than just an intellectual exercise; it becomes a wisdom inherent within each of us Whether one wants a better understanding of Buddhist concepts or a deepened meditation practice, this commentary on the Heart Sutra can help.
本書以對話詮釋方式探討印度佛學與中國佛學的根本問題,包括原始佛教、中觀學、唯識學、如來藏思想、天台學、華嚴學與禪宗各派。我們要以哲學義理為進路剖解中印佛學的基礎觀念所引發出來的種種重要的問題,特別是有關人生的苦痛煩惱與與此關聯的宗教上的覺悟、救贖的問題。
