古代杭州的佛道教医药学

古代杭州佛教寺院医药、僧侣医师医技、寺院药材、中外佛教医药交流均有各自特点.道教与中医药学关系更为密切,道家的葛洪在杭州留下的足迹,巳成为当今杭城中医药学的名胜古迹.因此,我们窥探古代杭州佛道教医药学发展脉络,理其异同,昭其精华,恩泽后代,意义非浅.     

虚拟与"虚拟实在"

"虚拟"是这个时代的热门词,也是当下文化的关键词.在三亿多的网民中,很多人见面时的问候语从"吃过没有"变为"魔兽了吗"抑或"摘菜了没有",网络虚拟生活已经成为国人乃至世人一种必不可少的生活方式.二十年前美国学者迈克海姆写过一本关于虚拟实在的书,大约十年前引入国内,引发了国内学者关于"虚拟实在"的研究和讨论.但由于当时国内的信息技术尚未普及,网民数量稀少,所以他的书和这场讨论未能引起社会轰动并深入持久下去.如今恰逢读网时代,我们重拾"虚拟实在",重新探讨它的形而上以及与"虚拟"的区别与联系,因为它是我们在谈及当下文化时绝不能回避和忽略的问题.     

元代北方临济宗的法脉传承

宋金的分治,造成临济宗又一次分为南北两宗。学界对南宗的传承比较清楚,北宗的传承则多语焉不详。相关论著多讲南宗,对北宗只简略介绍海云印简及刘秉忠。^[1]其实,元代北方临济宗不仅只有海云一系,而且海云弟子中也有不少高僧,值得深入研究。20世纪80年代,日本临济宗代表团赠予河北正定有关临济宗的文字资料中有《真定十方临济慧照玄公大宗师道行碑铭》。此碑立于元代,李辉先生以此碑记载为主,考察了金代临济宗的法脉传承。^[2]其实,此碑涉及元代临济宗北方的内容,对我们考察元代临济北宗的传承有重要帮助。     

A population study of low-rate smokers: quitting history and instability over time.

This study used 1 longitudinal and 2 cross-seconal population surveys to compare stability of low-rate daily smokers (less than 5 cigarettes per day) with other daily smokers and occasional smokers. Few low-rate smokers maintained consumption level; 36% retained smoking status after 20 months, compared with 82% and 44% for regular daily and occasional smokers, respectively. In a dynamic process, established smokers quit smoking and/or modified (decreased or increased) consumption. Low-rate and occasional smokers quit at higher rates than regular daily smokers (odds ratios 3:1) but were replenished by new members, many converted from regular daily smoker. The overall trend is an increasing proportion of low-consumption smokers while smoking prevalence declines. The dynamic process has implications for tobacco control efforts and for addiction theory.
