煩惱泥中養心蓮
蓮花「出淤泥而不染」的形象,人們常以為出自周敦頤的〈愛蓮說〉,其實它的源頭在佛教。蓮花對佛教有哪些重要意義?佛教經典中如何以蓮花譬喻法義和修行方法?我們常引用的「舌粲蓮花」、「心花怒放」等,原來也都出自佛教。自潔的「蓮花效應」如何運用在修行中?本期專題從認識篇、譬喻篇、經典篇、修行篇、藝術篇,邀大家一起360度觀蓮花、養心蓮。
「西洋僧」常聞法師有什麼「New Talk」?聽聽法師分享出家後怎麼調五欲、鍛鍊心。「人生新視界」惠敏法師帶領我們從無障無礙的藝術家們身上,學習長養慈、悲、喜、捨無量心的功課。「東亞佛寺之旅」介紹東京調布的深大寺,它是日本漫畫《鬼太郎》作者的靈感來源,更以好吃的蕎麥麵聞名,還有蕎麥守觀音供養祭和熱鬧的達摩市。
