Practicing Wisdom

寂天《入菩薩行論》是大乘佛教最重要的精神與哲學典籍之一，也是達賴喇嘛尊者鼓舞自己的精神與力量的最大泉源。「各種層面的佛陀教法，目的均是為了開發智慧。」「第二世紀的印度祖師龍樹說，對於精神發展而言，信心和理智兩者都是關鍵要素，這兩者中，信仰是基礎。然而他很清楚地說，要讓信心有足夠的力量，驅使我們在精神方面有所進展，我們需要理智，也就是一個可以讓我們辨認正道並培養深刻洞見的能力。但是瞭解不應只停留在知識與理智的層面，應該結合你的內心與心靈，這樣才會對行為產生直接的衝繫，否則你對佛教的研究將純粹只是理智上的，對你的態度、行為或生活方式將沒有絲毫影響。」──達賴喇嘛 本書是達賴喇嘛於一九九三年法國南部講寂天《入菩薩行論》〈智慧品〉的內容集結。此次講法的特別之處，在於尊者使用兩部論點相左的參考書分析有情與現象的究竟本質，引導讀者認識佛教修行上開發智慧的重要性。尊者在說法中將個人體悟及實踐的經驗及心得點綴於其中；書中並收錄尊者帶領讀者做觀修的方法，對於內容的了解是一項有利的輔助。

In "Journeys: Healing Through Nature's Wisdom" the superb full color photography of Tim Hauf combines with the informative commentary of Karen Roberts (diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis some 25 years ago) and Dana Simpson to effectively teach that thoughtful engagement with nature nourishes and deepens our identity, even in the face of long term afflictions. Inspiring in both word and image, "Journeys: Healing Through Nature's Wisdom" is a simply beautiful book with an enduring message that will be read with appreciation by generation after generation of readers. Very highly recommended, "Journeys: Healing Through Nature's Wisdom" would make an extraordinary and appropriate Memorial Fund acquisition by community and academic libraries.--Midwest Book Review

Wisdom means learning to live with ambivalence and to embrace uncertaintyHelga Nowotny’s memoir provides a detailed account of her life, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of a woman who defied convention in the male-dominated field of science. From her early days in science and technology studies, where she faced bureaucratic hurdles, to her influential role in shaping the European Research Council, Nowotny offers a candid look at her career. She shares personal stories of navigating the complexities of academia and policy, revealing the uncertainties and contingencies that shaped her life and work.
