正大唐高僧义净,济南长清人,西天取经二十五载,归国后,一生绍隆三宝,弘济为心。那么,义净大师二十五年的西行求法路上到底走过了哪些国家,朝礼了哪些佛陀圣迹呢?一公元641年,义净大师在齐州城西的土窟寺出家(今山东济南长清张夏四禅寺),17岁即萌发了西游印度求法的最初信念。671年,经过20余年的学习和准备,义净大师终于从广州孤身踏上了西行求法     

法显西行起始及归国时间考--兼论“南国律学道士”

佛教东传后,我国西行求法的高僧代不乏人,其中东晋时期的法显法师“创辟荒途”[1],乃是我国历史上第一批到达印度的僧人,而且是第一位从陆路去、海路回的僧人。本文就法显西行求法的起始时间、归国时间及与之相关的“南国律学道士”等问题作一考察。     

矢志不渝耀千古 不惜身命追梦人——《高僧法显传》喻理探微

法显是中国佛教史上最杰出的思想家、佛学家,其《高僧法显传》不仅是他西行求法的纪实,也是一部文化意蕴深厚的著述。法显既代表了中国佛教高僧追求真理,不辞身命、坚忍不拔的精神品质,反映了崇高的信仰力量,也是中华民族精神的优秀代表。同时,他的《高僧法显传》还是一部弘法利生、包蕴佛教理趣的文学作品。其中许多内容,寄寓深刻,喻理深邃,不乏生动、完整的比喻故事,表现出叙述中彰显经典教义,议论中蕴含佛教喻理的文采。

寻访圆仁法师的足迹(下)--阿南史代女士访谈

我想日本的僧人都十分崇敬玄奘法师、鉴真和尚,也都受过玄奘法师西行求法和鉴真和尚东渡弘法精神的感召。可以说,日本的圆仁与中国的玄奘、鉴真一样伟大。虽然他们各自有着不同的人生经历和时代背景．但有一点是共同的,那就是舍身求法的精神。至于说到他们对中日佛教文化的影响,毕竟玄奘大师、鉴真和尚的名气太大了。比如玄奘,无论在中国,还是在日本、韩国,由于有了     

中国古代佛经目录概述

佛教传入中国始于汉代,当时梵语经文已有译本。魏帝曹髦时,颖川人士朱士行出家以后,西行求经;晋武帝时,敦煌人竺法护随师至西域,归来后译经一百四十五部(见释僧祜《出三藏记集》)。由此佛教盛行,翻译经书便开始盛行起来。

西晋僧众活动考

佛教经东汉三国的孕育,至西晋时已趋兴盛,佛教徒参与斋会、超度法会、福会,与世间名士交往、施展治病等神通,西行求法,蔬食;而地狱、轮回、因果业报、净土、观音等信仰也开始流行,首批沙弥尼更于这时出现。凡此可见,是时佛教的活动已趋多样化,西晋乃中国佛教踏入兴盛的前奏时代。     

From the fixity of the past to the fixity of the independent

There is an old but powerful argument for the claim that exhaustive divine foreknowledge is incompatible with the freedom to do otherwise. A crucial ingredient in this argument is the principle of the “Fixity of the Past” (FP). A seemingly new response to this argument has emerged, the so-called “dependence response,” which involves, among other things, abandoning FP for an alternative principle, the principle of the “Fixity of the Independent” (FI). This paper presents three arguments for the claim that FI ought to be preferred to FP.

     

On the interaction of the subject and the experiment in the matching model

Two types of matching designs, static and dynamic, are differentiated. While all matching designs are logically the same in terms of the probability model which determines chance level of performance, an attempt is made to demonstrate that there is an interaction between the tactics, strategies, and actual knowledge ofS and the type of design used which will, in turn, lead to different results even whenS's knowledge is held constant. It is suggested that analogous situations may exist within the framework of the traditional psychometric model.The work reported in this paper was supported by a National Science Foundation Undergraduate Research Participation Grant (NSF-G15797) to the senior author.

In the beginning was the doing: the premises of the practical syllogism

If practical reasoning deserves its name, its form must be different from that of ordinary (theoretical) reasoning. A few have thought that the conclusion of practical reasoning is an action, rather than a mental state. I argue here that if the conclusion is an action, then so too is one of the premises. You might reason your way from doing one thing to doing another: from browsing journal abstracts to reading a particular journal article. I motivate this by sympathetically re-examining Hume's claim that a conclusion about what ought to be done follows only from an argument one of whose premises is likewise about what ought to be done.
