本期內容簡介
聖嚴法師 願的足跡
乞食千家,杖竹萬里。聖嚴法師一生不斷地出發、遠行,與不同地區、領域、宗教的人們分享佛法。法師圓寂十週年之際,作家王鼎鈞教授回憶,因為往佛教裡找尋「上帝隱瞞的東西」,而與法師在東初禪寺結下的法緣、文緣。沒有法師的日子,弟子楊蓓修書一封,娓娓道來對法師圓寂前囑託事項的努力,走在法師的深遠悲願上,也是一種幸福。陳維武分享為法師翻譯過程中,領受法師的「加持」與學習。
聖嚴法師一生以願開路,交織成一幅寰遊行腳地圖。政大中文系退休教授丁敏從中感受禪者的初心,是傳承自觀音的悲願,為了幫助眾生離苦得樂,法師風雪行腳,宛若觀音走過人間。世代之間如何閱讀法師各個生命階段?繼程法師、佛教學者鄧偉仁、紀錄片導演張釗維、高中生游高晏,分從禪者風範、佛教教育實踐、探問生命本源、用生命堅持學習的取徑,照見法師一生實踐佛法的行願足跡。
面對當前多元紛雜的社會議題、人類面臨的種種災難,佛教宗教師與佛教學者各有何見解?「當代關懷」由致力於佛教僧團扎根西方的美國舍衛精舍住持圖丹卻准法師,提出殷切且明確的指引;「佛學人物」陳金華教授則視為宗教變革契機,倡議以佛學營建人類方舟。「123,木頭人」雖是遊戲,卻和真實人生有幾分相似,「人生戲中戲」指出其中「向死而生」的道理,等著你琢磨!
