頓悟修證──威音那畔的密語Sudden Enlightenment Cultivation- Message from the Shore of One's True Nature 先悟後修乃禪門正軌，然非漸修無以頓悟，且無頓悟後而不漸修者。學人若欲契入本心，須心法知見清晰，行持穩健，道心堅固，戒行清淨，摒棄善惡諸緣，努力於本參話頭上用心，從朝至暮，不可須臾離。須知大疑大悟，小疑小悟，不疑不悟。直至參破漆桶，身心脫落，方見本來面目。爾後更加努力，依所悟之境，空而覺、覺而空，綿綿密密，二六時中保任涵養，乃有寶燭光天之證也。 縱觀歷代祖師，皆是經過一番鉗錘鍛鍊，不斷參究破執，直待破無始無明、徹悟、契入不生不滅的本性方才自肯。如大慧宗杲禪師偈曰：「桶底脫時大地闊，命根斷處碧潭清，好將一點紅爐雪，散作人間照夜燈。」至此方有安身立命之實地。徹悟後，還是要依據不生不滅的本性去用功，轉識成智，成就方便智，所謂無明分分斷、法身分分證，待功圓果滿，成就佛道，是為菩薩行持。 禪宗祖祖相承，能令法脈不墜，乃因其教法修證可驗證、可重複。學人倘能依教奉行，必不負如來，不負己靈。

「為解放而戰的青蛙們，唯有蹲坐在陰暗的半個椰殼底下不動才會失敗。全世界的青蛙團結起來！」 《想像的共同體》作者班納迪克．安德森學術人生自述 是什麼樣的社會、政治、文化與時代背景，孕育、教育並養成了《想像的共同體》（Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism）的作者班納迪克．安德森(Benedict Anderson)？ 班納迪克．安德森終其一生都在挑戰他那個時代的紀律、文化、學術和政治的界限。在《椰殼碗外的人生》（A Life Beyond Boundaries）這本書裡，他記述自己人生中智識形成的歷程，如何迎向寬廣的世界，從中感受探索學習語言的樂趣，以及田野調查的重要性、新左派對全球思維的影響力、教書帶來的滿足感和對世界文學的熱愛。安德森同時在書中敘述一九六五年印尼發生流產政變後，他揭發軍方所扮演的角色，結果遭到蘇哈托政權驅逐出境。此外，他也重溫自己最知名，改變了民族主義研究的著作--《想像的共同體》背後的構思與靈感。 二○一五年安德森修改完本書的校樣後不久，便在爪哇與世長辭，旋即從亞洲湧來大量向他致敬的悼文，顯示安德森的作品將會繼續啟發和鼓舞年輕與年長世代的心靈。 媒體評論 「本書以特有的魅力與文學美感，記述一位當代極受仰慕的學者的智識軌跡。」——古哈(Ramachandra Guha)，《泰唔士報》文學副刊(Times Literary Supplement) 「迷人而低調的回憶錄。作者心酸的表示他對於自己的成就感到多麼幸運。我們都應該感同身受。」——《展望》雜誌(Prospect Magazine) 「安德森是舒適圈的敵人，不論國家、學校或語言皆是如此。他反覆再三的提到泰國和印尼文化的一個意象，也就是一輩子住在半個椰子殼下的青蛙。閱讀安德森的書讓人產生從椰子殼裡探出頭來的感覺。」——《經濟學人》雜誌(Economist) 「安德森的寫作充滿紳士味，仁善，還點綴著笑話——他這種非正式、易閱讀、跨學科的寫作風格一如既往贏得多方喝采。」——《衛報》(Guardian) 「世紀主義的入門書，提供跨越地理、歷史、語言、學科邊界的主張。」——《國家》雜誌(Nation)

As the evening’s service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two? From the imagination of two acclaimed picture
