刍议佛教思想中“空”观的哲学意义

如来藏思想缘起与佛教心性论关系探微

佛教自汉末传入我国,我国佛教思想可以看作是如来藏法性思想一系,无论是华严讲性起、天台讲性具还是禅宗的明心见性,都是以如来藏佛性思想为宗为本。通过对如来藏思想典籍的爬梳以及其缘起的条件及与原始佛教、部派佛教、大乘佛教早期的心性论关系的梳理,可以把握如来藏思想与宗派思想结合的脉络以及宗派对于如来藏思想的继承和嬗变,能够确立如来藏思想作为大乘佛教哲学一支的合法性。     

从佛教因果说看彼得·贝格尔对神正论的探讨

彼得·贝格尔继承了马克斯·韦伯的神正论思想，并在《神圣的帷幕》中对各历史时期、各宗教体系的神正论加以探讨。贝格尔在论述佛教的神正论时，依佛教的“无常”“无我”理论解释了苦难、恶以及死亡等无秩序现象（anomic）。但这种走向虚无的解释方法也消解了佛教的神正论及其对社会作的合理化论证，造成其神正论理论的内部冲突。这实际上是由贝格尔采用佛教的出世理论解释世间的苦难造成的，他没有阐述佛教的世间和出世间两重因果，也就不可能处理由它们之间的张力所引起的理论冲突，而这在佛教既涵盖世间法又涵盖出世间法的因果框架中得以化解。     

我心素已闲,清川澹如此——从王维对闲适的吟咏看“无念”、“无相”、“无住”的禅宗思想

王维是我国文学史上有名的"诗佛",其一生的文学作品中,对闲适生活的吟咏占了很大的一部分,并且形成了其独有的恬淡空灵的特色,究其缘由,与其对佛教的深刻造诣分不开。本文试从其闲适诗与佛教的交汇之处,浅谈王维的"无念"、"无相"、"无住"的禅宗思想。     

报恩思想的现代意义

"上报四重恩,下济三途苦"是佛教报恩思想的标志。知恩报恩的思想是佛教传统伦理思想的代表之一,也是人类社会最值得提倡的伦理道德思想之一。中国人一直有"滴水之恩,当涌泉相报"的说法,就是说受惠于他人,就应该回报,而     

佛教经济伦理思想探论

佛教的伦理思想是佛教实现人生解脱的基本信念和方法。在发展过程形成了一套具有自身特点的伦理道德标准和以五戒十善六度为中心行为规范体系,内容极为丰富。其中,大乘思想中的“缘起实相”、“业因果报”、“自利利他”的伦理观更是蕴涵着深刻的经济伦理思想,所谓“一切世间治生产业,皆与实相不相违背”。[1]深入研究佛教经济伦理思想,对于现代经济的发展具有十分重要的借鉴意义。一“缘起实相”与经济可持续发展缘起思想,乃根源于佛陀对宇宙人生的正觉:自他不二,依正不二。凡存在的,皆建立于缘起相互依存的关系中。不论从人类、动物、矿植…     

宗教与慈善之我见——以伊斯兰教的慈善事业为例

很多宗教的教义中多将行善作为其基本准则,如佛教教人慈悲为怀、基督教强调爱人如己,伊斯兰教同样也是如此。作为世界三大宗教之一的伊斯兰教,无论是在其圣典《古兰经》和"圣训"中,还是在其教理、教义中都无不体现着乐善好施、举善济世、济贫扶困的慈善思想。伊斯兰教慈善事业在我国慈善事业中起着非常重要的作用,本文试图浅析我国伊斯兰教慈善事业的思想、场所、资金来说明伊斯兰教慈善事业。     

“不立文字”与禅宗宗旨关系探析

禅宗无论在世界还是中国、在古代还是当代都具有重要的影响和作用,它是完全中国化的佛教,从禅宗思想教旨、古文献可以看出禅宗之"不立文字"并非不要文字、佛教经论,而是不执着于文字。"不立文字"与禅宗宗旨具有辩证统一的关系。     

禅宗天衣义怀“唯心净土”思想阐微

天衣义怀(993—1064)为云门下四世,禅门一代宗匠,对北宋云门宗兴盛与发展起到巨大促进作用;培养出很多到京城传法、产生重大影响的出色弟子;北宋中后期许多著名云门禅僧皆出自其法系。而对于此法门龙象,关于其生平及思想的研究却寥寥无几。鉴于义怀在云门宗乃至禅宗中的特殊地位,笔者试据现存佛教早期史料中关于义怀生平、上堂语录等记载,对被世人忽略的义怀之"唯心净土"思想作几点阐释;并将其与传统佛教经典中其它几种净土思想进行比较;分析其与早期禅宗诸师的相关理念,以及与永明延寿"禅净双修"思想之间的内在关系;追溯其历史渊源,阐释其理论及现实意义,并认为"唯心净土"为近代太虚大师"人间佛教"的直接思想来源。

The Party and the Sage: Communist China's use of quasi-Confucian rationalizations for one-party dictatorship and imperial ambition

The current bloom of quasi-Confucian political thinking and writing in the People's Republic of China (PRC), encouraged by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and deployed both to discredit Western ideals of democratic pluralism and to rationalize continued one-party rule in China, has been a long time coming. This article examines the origins of this line of thinking, its development since its first appearance with the CCP's cultivation of Confucius studies in the mid-1980s, and the current parameters of this discourse as it has taken a growing role in Beijing's domestic political and emerging geopolitical narrative.

Understanding the New Rural Co-operative Movement: towards rebuilding civil society in China

Along with the emergence of the ‘three rural issues’ and rural crisis, a new co-operative movement has been witnessed in rural China, which is different from the former revolutionary communalist co-operative movement. This social movement can help to understand and rebuild civil society in China, which has, more often than not, been criticized as not genuine, civil nor society-based. Following the debate's background of the juxtaposition of a fast economic reform together with slow social and political reforms in China, the paper addresses a crucial question on the impact of economic development on civil society dynamics in China. By identifying the causal mechanisms of the new co-operative development and the conditions needed for them to develop, the paper presents some implications of the co-operative model in today's society. These causal mechanisms are set within the context of one historical process evolving with a path dependency. Using this theoretical framework, it further presents the empirical observations. Through the findings it is concluded that the new co-operative movement in rural China can be considered as a mild liberalization within civil society's sphere. While questioning a popularly used perspective examining the voluntary/non-profit nature of civil society organizations and excluding the economic aspect within civil society studies in China, the paper suggests an alternative approach representing an inclusive third sector with diverse organizations that combine both economic and social aims.

More Engagement

At the end of 2008, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office issued "The UK and China: A Framework for Engagement." It is the first such document Britain has issued on its China policy.

Temporal,Spatial and Functional Governance of China's Reform Stability

Governance is a hot topic in China, as well as among political scientists. Ways of thinking about it can be improved. This essay offers a ‘neo-functionalist’ method to test for successful or unsuccessful governance of reform stability in China. It takes account of the need for participation in effective governance. Steering a state (or any part of a state) requires attention to multiple sizes of polity—especially several medial sizes in a country as large as China. Governance has varied over time during the ‘reform’ era, when anti-reform conservatives have remained important in many nested political networks. The paper shows variation of governance over time, over sizes of polity and over four sample governance functions: managing the economy, maintaining orderly stability, linking ‘social’ parts of the polity to the government, and choosing cadres. It shows how these categories exhaust a logical field that is at least implicit in any analysis of governance roles, and it suggests the value of a ‘circulation of elites’ paradigm when thinking about governance success or failure.
