抄録 | The teachings of the Buddha transcends time and space. Any diligent human being who wants to practice what He taught can do so in his or her everyday life. A group of persons who want to try out his teachings in contemporary society pertaining to family,group or community well being too can do so and come to their own conclusions about their usefulness or ineffectiveness. Buddha gave that freedom to us. His teachings elevated us, the human beings, to a supreme level where the shaping of our destiny is not determined by the intervention of any other outside divine power but we have to work it out ourselves. He admonished his disciples to work for their own liberation. He was only a Teacher who discovered and showed the Path to Nibbana-the lasting and unconditioned happiness all Buddhists aspire for.
The Buddha's teaching,the Dhamma, is the seed. It can germinate and grow to fruition in a human mind,in a human personality,resulting in total liberation of such human being from the sufferings in the cycle of births and deaths -- samsara. Some individuals thought out and worked at societal level to develop certain cultural,social,economic and political infrastructures, which would be conducive to germinate this seed not only in individual minds but also in the collective consciousness of the community. In Buddhist tradition and history there are many such successful attempts which were made and which are on record. The Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement of Sri Lanka is an example from contemporary society of such an attempt.
In this paper I am trying to make an attempt to trace the core teachings of the Buddha as applicable to the spiritual awakening of the practitioner living in society and simultaneously creating an enabling and a conducive environment to acquire self realization he or she is seeking. Some scholars have called this engaged Buddhism. In contemporary society I have taken the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement of Sri Lanka with which I am closely associated as an illustration. The application of the social dimensions of the Buddha's teachings in all aspects of social organization,including political and economic life and the vistas open to extend this endeavour to address all problems humanity is faced with, are briefly dealt with in this paper.
佛法超越時空. 任何精進的人,如果想修持佛的教法,都可以在日常生活中實踐. 一群人也可以把佛法落實在現代會的家庭,團體或社區中,對其優缺點自有評斷. 佛陀把這種自由交給我們. 它的教法,把我們人類提升到最高的層次 -- 我們的命運,不是由任何外在的神力左右,我們須親自開創前途. 他教誠弟子要為他們自己的解脫而努力. 他只是發現和指示涅盤(一切佛教徒所企求的永恆而無條件的安樂)之道而已.
佛法是種子. 它能在人的心中發芽而後開花結果,從生死輪迴中完全解脫. 有些人在社會層次上設計和工作,以發展某些文化,社會,經濟和政治的基層結構,致使能在個人和社區集體意識中讓這個種子發芽. 在佛教傳統和歷史上,有許多成功的例子,皆有紀錄可查. 斯里蘭卡的莎弗陀耶分享布施運動,就是現代社會中的典型.
本文將嘗試追溯佛陀的核心教法,如何可以用來喚醒學佛者的心靈,同時可以創造覺悟所需的環境. 有些人稱之為「入世佛教」. 我就以我所服務的斯里蘭卡莎弗陀耶分享布施運動為例來做說明. 文中將簡要說明如何把佛法有關社會層面的理論用在各種社會組織(包括政治和經濟生活)中,又如何用來對治人類所面臨的一切問題. |
