本期內容簡介
聖嚴法師教淨土法門
自《聖嚴法師教淨土法門》一書出版後,引發了一般民眾的好奇,一向給人禪師形象的聖嚴法師,如何會教淨土法門?本期特別邀請專研淨土宗的中華佛研所所長果鏡法師,為讀者導讀此書,並由佛教學院校長惠敏法師講解淨土精神的落實,此外還介紹了經典中的念佛方法、無相念佛、念佛功能,以及淨土三經、日本淨土信仰等。依循著聖嚴法師教的淨土法門,聲聲阿彌陀佛,一步步踏上淨土世界。
現代人工作壓力大,「人生新視界」惠敏法師分享他的「輕安瑜伽」,將「瑜伽」的體位姿勢分門別類,配合佛法的聯想與觀想,例如墊腳尖、雙手上舉的「椰樹式」則可提醒自己對他人要能揚善舉善,學習「隨喜功德」。「數位弘法」看佛法如何搭上網際網路的熱潮,發揮教化的影響力。美國佛羅里達宗教系助理教授俞永峰在「聖嚴禪法」中,將聖嚴法師一生教禪的經歷與轉變,與創立法鼓宗的緣由,建構出清晰的分期,是首次將法師禪法的演變作有系統的整理,對研究聖嚴法師思想與禪法有很大的助益。
