舉世最具代表性的十二幅傑作 攀向藝術巔峰的崎嶇之道不同凡響的藝術作品所在多有，但是，如何能夠成為真正的「大師之作」？本書探查了潛藏在舉世聞名的畫作背後的迷人故事，而這些來龍去脈，才造就了貨真價實的大師級鉅作。從開篇的山德羅．波提且利（Sandro Botticelli）的《維納斯的誕生》（The Birth of Venus），途經種種的時代與風格，如約翰尼斯．維梅爾的《戴珍珠耳環的少女》、梵谷的《十五朵向日葵》、畢卡索《格爾尼卡》等等，來到了安迪．沃荷（Andy Warhol）的《康寶湯罐頭》（Campbell's Soup Cans），最後則走入二十一世紀，一窺艾米．謝諾德（Amy Sherald）筆下的蜜雪兒．歐巴馬（Michelle Obama）的肖像。這十二幅作品，每一幅皆透顯出打造大師之作所涉及的策略，遠遠不只是藝術家本人的技藝而已：在這些鉅作的成名之路上，我們可以見到，有關盜賊、醜聞、畫家聲譽、政治權謀等等故事交織其間。本書作者望向畫框之外的世界，為我們揭露出，從畫家獨自面對畫架到獲得公眾喝采的這趟旅程，也可以如同藝術品本身一樣扣人心弦。

本章節透過失智症合併精神行為問題 (Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia, BPSD) 實際生活案例，提供照顧者可能的因應策略與照顧態度。問題行為 BPSD 如果不影響日常生活，通常不建議藥物治療，重點是照顧者要能夠調整自己的心態，接受失智症者生病後和之前健康狀態的差異，盡量不要讓自己的情緒影響到失智症者。失智症者雖有類似的問題行為，然而每個案例因應與緩解問題行為的方式可能不盡相同。長時間的觀察和嘗試，找到原因並且針對原因處理通常比任何方法都有效。再者，同一套方法有時候不會每次都有用，需要準備好幾套劇本或是方法來隨機運用。整體來說，建議照顧者以同理心和耐心，細心觀察並了解失智症者過往的生活習慣、工作及家庭經驗，因為有時候問題行為的發生可能是失智症者想表達，卻無法以正確語言表達內心想法的行為表現。

達賴喇嘛：要作個佛法的懷疑者！ 勇敢帶著質疑的好奇心並持續探索，才會在佛法中找到真正的解脫！ 從理解到深信，如何以「智者的方式」開發一種無可撼動的信仰？ 為了達到「解脫輪迴」與「成佛的圓滿覺悟」， 達賴喇嘛透過印度龍樹大師的中觀之道， 在深奧的空性見地中，質疑探實相的真正本質， 當我們將這些教法回歸到個人的經驗時， 就能獲得佛教獨一無二的真正解脫。 【本書簡介】 在《從懷疑中覺醒》一書中，達賴喇嘛尊者把西藏佛教與它在古代那爛陀大學的學術傳統根源，以及具有極大影響力的印度龍樹大師的深觀教法，做了連結。他闡明《中觀根本論》（Fundamental Stanzas on the Middle Way）當中三個重要的篇章，如「我和無我的本質」、「十二緣起」及「世俗諦和勝義諦」等，同時也涵蓋格魯派的創始者傑．宗喀巴大師《聖道三要》（Three Principal Aspects of the Path）的豐富探索，引導讀者不斷地質疑探究佛陀的教法，並以「智者的方式」開發一種無可撼動的信仰。 達賴喇嘛尊者先對龍樹有關十二緣起支的篇章（《中論》第26品）給予注釋，詳述根本無明如何把我們自身和環繞在周圍的世界執為自性真實；接著陳述《中論》第18品，龍樹對於佛陀有關「我和無我」的分析，說明空性就是一切事物的究竟存在模式。最後，《中論》中最重要的一品第24品，解釋龍樹關於一切現象的自性存在是空性的論證。達賴喇嘛說，透過一種客觀、帶有好奇的批判心，從事謹慎的分析，才是佛教徒精神活動那層意義的「法」。 《從懷疑中覺醒》教導《中觀根本論》批判性地思考空性、四聖諦和十二緣起支的教法，而對佛道培養出一種確實的理解時，接著進入本書的第二個部分：宗喀巴《聖道三要》，作為日常觀修的方法。結合這兩部重要的經典，對於從輪迴三有中證得涅槃或解脫的可能性，以及證得這個目標的方法，將更實際、更能觸及。 如何以「智者的方式」開發一種無可撼動的信仰？ ★沒有人想要痛苦，因此，我們必須斷除它的「因」。我們無法透過祈禱，或甚至透過結束自己的生命來去除痛苦。要消除痛苦的根本原因──認為事物是真實存在的虛妄執著，我們必須證得徹見空性的洞見。 ★好奇、質疑的態度非常重要。因為只要存有這樣的質疑，便會持續地追究下去。科學進步的其中一個理由，是因為它持續不斷地質疑探究，並且基於「它為什麼會像這樣」的真正客觀態度，帶著嘗試各種可能

I bumped into a…」也引導孩子一起開口朗讀、模仿小狐狸的動作，或說出自己的快樂感受和用身體動作表達心情的方式吧！從充滿樂趣的親子互動中，孩子也能學習覺察他人的肢體語言與同理他人的情緒變化。 誠如繪本中大人們看到跌跌撞撞的小狐狸那樣，育兒日常裡的爸媽大概就是不斷叨念：危險！不要跑、不要跳、不要爬。一轉眼，小傢伙已經撞到頭、擦破皮，喊痛大哭了！結果不一會兒，淚痕還掛在臉上又興高采烈的玩了起來。或許，我們大人才該跟孩子學習呢！累了、傷了、哭了，沒關係！「活在當下

學術界自十九世紀末以日本及西方範式對漢傳佛教之研究以來，當中一個論述就是指漢傳佛教有各個宗派之創立，而其中的淨土宗乃是一種純他力信仰。然而，當代學者卻在方法論上提出應以漢傳佛教之範式，對漢傳佛教和淨土法門重建出更有根據之新論。本書之英文原著A Chinese Paradigm of the Jingtu Famen: The Buddhist Thought and Practice of Sheng'an Shixian and Other Patriarchs以該新範式仔細研究清初淨土祖師省庵實賢（1686-1734）及眾祖師之論註，闡明漢傳佛教不曾發展出各個宗派之另一論述，並重塑出淨土法門乃是一種根植於大乘佛教中觀和瑜伽行以自他二力方便法門來修持智慧及慈悲之禪修傳統。該原著乃是作者將其博士論文重新增補修訂後，於2023年經荷蘭博睿（Brill）出版的專書，現由作者翻譯成本譯著。
