The Bhagavad-gita opens with blind King Dhritarashtra requesting his
secretary, Sanjaya, to narrate the battle between his sons, the Kauravas,
and their cousins, the Pandavas. Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, out of affection for His devotee, the Pandava prince Arjuna, has
agreed to drive his chariot. As Arjuna takes up his bow and prepares to
fight, he sees the sons of Dhritarashtra drawn in military array and
requests i... 阅读全帖 |

I am unable to identify with orthodox Christianity. I must tell you in all
humility that Hinduism, as I know it, entirely satisfies my soul, fills my
whole being, and I find solace in the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads that
I miss even in the Sermon on the Mount....I must confess to you that when
doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see
not one ray of light on the horizon I turn to the Bhagavad Gita, and find a

Despite their differences, Hinduism and Christianity have great
similarities . And this is particularly prominent in the case of the life
and teachings of the two central figures of these world religions — Christ
and Krishna .
Similarities in just the names of Christ and Krishna have enough fuel
for the curious mind to prod into the proposition that they were indeed one
and the same person. Although there is little historical evid... 阅读全帖 |

In his own words: Barack Obama on Christianity and Islam
By Thomas Lifson
A website called Now The End Begins has compiled 40 comments by Barack Obama
on Christianity and Islam.
1. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of
Islam”
2. “The sweetest sound I know is the Muslim call to prayer”
3. “We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which
has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my
own country.”

Therefore Arjuna opens Chapter Five by asking
Krishna to definitivelly explain whether the renunciation of work (
speculation, ‘sankhya, jnana’, inaction-in-knowledge) or work in devotion
is superior. Krishna answers that one who is detached from his work’s
results is the one who is truly renounced. Such a person knows that while
the body acts, he, the soul, actually does nothing. |

http://cclw.net/gospel/asking/lyzbhwj/htm/chapter11.html
环顾世界诸宗教，无论是制度性的宗教，或是在被称为原始社会中的宗教，各宗
教的灵魂观以及对死亡的观点，总是与其教义或仪式拥有密切的关系。以下分别介绍这
些不同宗教的灵魂观以及对死亡的观点。
原始宗教
(一)灵魂观点
在传统原始的社会中，灵魂的本质就是力量；在此想法之中，力量、灵魂和生命
是可彼此互换的观念。同时在原始人的想法之中，一个遍在的力量或是生命的法则，不
仅被认为存在于人类自身而已，同时这些力量也被认为存在于其它生物的生命之中。
对一个原始人而言，他认为自己的潜能是不受拘限的；因而他总是想要抓住隐藏
在他身体之内的本质，而其方法就表现在各种类型的巫术上。同时对原始人而言，灵魂
的力量是可以计数的；并且人人所拥有的力量皆不相同；即使是同一个人在生命的不同
阶段，所拥有得灵魂力量也不相同。
原始人的灵魂观，依着情境之不同，而对灵魂有不同之命名。举Fang of Gabon为
例，对灵魂有七种命名形式：(1)eba：位于脑的生命原理，... 阅读全帖 |

是一个半月，自己的思路也渐渐有点断了。现在还得重新拾起来继续讲。
书承上文，我们讲到波尔和海森堡著名的哥本哈根会面。当年海森堡和魏茨泽克访问已
经属于德占区的哥本哈根。在一系列官方正式以及非正式活动之余，他们二人专程造访
了他们的老师玻尔。当时玻尔住在哥本哈根西南的嘉士伯荣誉寓所中。这曾经是嘉士伯
酒厂的创始人雅各布森(Jacob Christian Jacobsen)和他儿子的住所，“嘉士伯”就是
以他儿子的名字“Carl”来命名的，不过后来因为一些看法不和，卡尔自己另立门户称
“新嘉士伯”，最后在老爸去世后又回来继承产业把新老嘉士伯合并，这是后话。老雅
各布森在遗嘱中声明，他的儿子卡尔可以终生使用他的老宅，再之后则将其交由自己创
立的嘉士伯基金会，选择在科学艺术等领域贡献最为卓越之人，以作为其住所。1932年
之后，除去战争期间的那段流亡时期，玻尔一家一直居于此地直到老玻尔去世。
其实这次会面在当时只是纷杂的历史大环境下的一个不太起眼的小插曲。然而十几年后

薄伽梵歌： Bhagavad Gita As It Is
博伽瓦谭： Srimad Bhagavatam
作者是 A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
薄伽梵歌代表了印度宗教，有如道德经代表中国一般享誉西方世界，因此有许多译本（
原文当然
是梵文）。但以A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 所翻译本为最真实反映印度
宗教精神。

发帖数: 954 | 21 不如See U 你来讲讲吧。怎么才能有direct insight that life is suffering?
俺很困惑的说。
另外，虽然很接受佛教的心理学和行为学自我疗法，我无法想象轮回。轮回对我来说，
比天堂或者一个personal God远远更不可能。
在看了甘地评注的Bhagavad Gita以后，我更倾向于世界上有一个God, 也许God就是大
自然，也许God 是基督耶稣, 也许God就是Buddha Nature, 也许God 就是我们每个人心
里的善根。也许我们永远无法知道他是谁。但是他一直在那里。
在用Tenzin Palmo的禅修办法时，我有的时候会想象我的awareness, 虽然很小，但可
能是无边无际的God的mind的一小部分。从这个意思上说，God 总是和我在一起，如果
我时时刻刻注意他的话。

发帖数: 2166 | 22 一是我没看到有人这样做吧。
有同修质疑是不是佛本说，这个我觉得不是诽谤吧。
即便有人不同意空性，也没什么吧，用词不同，很多时候是原因。
还有人的个性有时候看到空性但是感觉不深刻，平等心就是另外的一种描述。
还有一个， 我还觉得印度教的Vedanta, Bhagavad Gita很有深度和智慧。从而对唯观
宗也很赞同。细读他们是本质一致的。我对它很尊重。比如金刚经很有智慧。
但是我明白佛陀是否认brahma的，这个没问题，对于本阶段的修炼，他们的区别对我没
有实质影响。他们的区别要在比较高的证悟之后才有意义。
最终涅槃是佛陀的自有独特的智慧，之前的发展，不只只有佛陀。比如禅定比如无我比
如无常。还有不二。印度教都也是如此教育的。
Vedanta 令我收益匪浅，不过向往涅槃，只有佛陀知道怎么办。但是在最后一步之前，
可以选择别的text来帮助我理解真相，帮助发展，来印证智慧。
最终都是过河之舟，要抛弃的。真相是唯一的，修到什么程度，会自动离弃一些理论吸
收新的。
我不明白诽谤与怀疑的分界线，不过我明白班上的很多同修跟我的划分区域有很大的差
距。 |
