“Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment《爲甚麼佛教是真的》”
自從Robert Wright出版了他的“The Moral Animal: Why We Are the Way We Are(《道德動物》)”以來,他的書已經吸引了我。其後的“NONZERO:The Logic of Human Destiny(《非零年代》”,“The Evolution of God(《神的演化》)”更是非看不可。他亦是一位走出學院(2000年曾任教於普林斯頓大學)而從事記者、編輯的思想家。 “Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment《爲甚麼佛教是真的》”這本出版於2017年,於2018、2020年亦分別出版了繁體(《令人神往的靜坐開悟:普林斯頓大受歡迎的佛學與現代心理學》)及簡體(《洞见:从科学到哲学,打开人类的认知真相》)版。 現今佛教基本上分三大體系,一是流傳於南亞和東南亞如斯里斯卡、泰國、緬甸、柬埔寨、寮國、印尼的南傳佛教(原始佛教~上座部、小乘佛教),二是流傳於中國、台灣、日本、韓國、越南的漢傳佛教(大眾部、大乘佛教),三是流傳於西藏(圖博)和蒙古的藏傳佛教(金剛乘佛教)。南傳、漢傳、藏傳佛教裡頭又分了不同宗派,像泰國佛教有大宗派、法宗派,漢傳有禪宗、淨土宗、華嚴宗、天台宗、律宗等等,藏傳有格魯、薩迦、寧瑪、噶舉等等。不同體系的佛教在西方有不同的傳人。Robert Wright的這本作品並不是屬於任何一個流派,而是想通過他多年研究與實踐來探討佛教/學的共同核心(有如牟宗三先生的《佛性與般若》的立心一樣);同時亦想體現真正有用的東西/知識應該是現世的、可傳授的、可觀察的、可重復的去獲得,而非要/不應該是通過神秘的、超自然的、不可言喻的方式去學得 本書通過進化心理學理論來印證佛學觀點,進而幫助人們發現更真實的自我、收穫人生大智慧的哲學類書籍。書中以一個現代人的視角,通過進化心理學的知識求證佛陀當初說的關於人類的五大認知真相:(1)我們的快樂其實是基因設計出來的,基因的設定就是不滿足(苦);(2)快樂和煩惱都是“感覺”(無我);(3)人本質上是由感覺驅動的(無常);(4)我們無法客觀看待世間萬物(空);(5)我們能夠從煩惱和苦中解脫出來(冥想)。並教會我們通過正念自控訓練衝破大腦錯覺,實現與各種感覺的剝離,從而擺脫煩惱與痛苦,變得更智慧,更幸福。
