"闹鬼"的村庄

这是一件真实的事。元霄节过后的第一个双休日,我的朋友小金把我及郭某一行6人叫去帮他装潢室内屋顶,那是一间拥有180平方米的方形大客厅,从墙壁到屋顶全用壁板装饰。今日要做的工作主要是吊顶。首先把木板拼凑成的华丽图案镶嵌在室内屋顶之上,把用水泥抹平的天花板罩住。按照枝形吊灯悬吊的位置,把顶灯固定在设计好的位置上,然后沿四周边沿装置上霓虹灯,让入夜的客厅放射出令人迷醉的流光异彩。我们首先在室内摆放起用圆木搭成的三角支架,再把一块5公分厚的硬铁板搁置在支架上,高度为人站上去正好可以进行装潢操作。当我们6个人把用作工作…

Buddhist Life Stories

This article argues that contemporary Buddhist memoirs are an important source to investigate and understand the phenomenon of modern Buddhism. Modern Buddhism is a current development in which Buddhists consider their tradition in new ways. The connections between life stories and modern Buddhist traits are striking. No document can get closer to the source of this movement than a life story. In this article I consider this in terms of the memoirs of the German Buddhist nun Ayya Khema and the Sinhalese monk Bhante Gunaratana. Although the figures may not represent all of the categories of modern Buddhism, the reader understands their choices in terms of their entire lives. The reader is constantly faced with the interplay between modern and traditional traits that make up their life stories.     

A Universe of Stories

The complete adoption of a narrative paradigm for therapy is proposed and its implications and possibilities spelled out, especially for life in a post-modern world that lacks any objective frame of reference. In the post-modern sensibility, the story is set free to perform as simply a story that allows for re-invention as the story-teller finds a voice rooted in the person's own experience and in the connection of her story to those of others, and to larger stories of culture and humanity. The realization that we are all characters in each other's stories as well as our own reminds us that our stories only go forward as we act in ways that also forward the stories of others. A hermeneutics for such therapy validates and questions all points of view so that they do not harden into stories that are assumed to be objectively true.
