「人們總以為修行禪定一陣子之後，必然會發生什麼事情；就好像求學那樣，經過十年或十五年，你就能拿到什麼學位。『我有辦法讓它發生！我可以成佛！』可是，事情並非如此。你無法造就證悟，因為證悟是無法建構的。能否了悟覺醒之境，端看是否你精進地讓不二覺性回返於自然安住。欠缺這種精進、不經任何艱辛，是難以達到證悟的。」──祖古‧烏金仁波切「祖古‧烏金仁波切長期待在山間的隱修處，多年都在閉關，也進行了相當時間的禪修。因此，對於我們慈悲的釋迦牟尼佛所宣說之神聖教法，能給予非常精要的開示。他從本身的體驗談起，以自己的經歷說明，教導我們應以完整而無誤的方式來修持。這些開示，充滿了直接而精髓的口訣，是殊勝而獨特的。」──確吉‧尼瑪仁波切一場從經驗中凝鍊出的靜心教導了悟的究竟目標，亦即心的自然狀態，無誤且如實的樣貌，不需外求而本自內具。藉由體驗一向在我們之內的本貌，我們得到證悟。然而，若要安住於此合一的無上之境，單靠方法或單從知識皆無法達到。方法，即是適當的行止；知識，即是見地（觀點）。既然努力修行的真正目標是要鬆開我們僵化的性格，我們應該要融合見地和行止。積聚資糧和清淨障蔽即是為了要促成上述的修持。

Using frames of reference as effective blueprints for applying theory to pediatric OT practice, Kramer and Hinojosa’s Frames of Reference for Pediatric Occupational Therapy, 5th Edition, helps students learn to effectively evaluate child and adolescent clients and plan for intervention. This proven, reader-friendly approach helps students understand the “why” of each frame of reference (neuro-development or Ayres sensory integration, for example) before moving on to the “how” of creating effective treatment programs. Thoroughly updated content covers the foundations of frames of reference for pediatric OT followed by commonly used frames of reference such as biomechanical and motor skill acquisition.A final section discusses focused frames of reference such as handwriting skills and social participation. An easy-to-follow, templated format provides illustrated, real-world examples as it guides readers through each frame of reference: Theoretical Base, the Function/Dysfunction Continuum

Revitalization in Asia: Adaptive Reuse in Macao, Mumbai, and Penang offers a clear understanding of the value of sustainable adaptive reuse within an Asian context. Three highly urbanized places (Macao, Mumbai, and Penang) are considered in detail from conservation and planning perspectives (with essays and timelines for each). For each place, five case studies offer a comparative framework for understanding similarities and differences in adaptive reuse projects. Six essays examine adaptive reuse in terms of its connection to the three dimensions of sustainability, with reference to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. This book is envisioned as a continuation of Asian Revitalization: Adaptive Reuse in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.

An indispensable reference to the development of the Chinese economy—past, present, and future.—DALE W. JORGENSON, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University Since China undertook economic reform and opened its economy to the world in the late 1970s, its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of over 9 percent for more than four decades. No other economy in recorded history has grown at such a high rate and for such a long period as China has done. The questions that naturally arise are: Was the Chinese economy a miracle? Or was it a mere bubble? Will the Chinese economy begin to stagnate like the Japanese economy did in the 1990s, and perhaps decline? Will it be able to escape the “middle-income trap”? If it is not a miracle, can the Chinese development experience be replicated elsewhere? This book provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the remarkable growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, by scrutinising the sources of e

The GNH ideology of Bhutan acts as a catalyst for happiness, challenging the dominant paradigm of economic development as the sole metric of progress and prompting individuals to reassess the true essence of happiness in life. It calls upon governments to integrate happiness into policy planning. We believe that Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept is not only relevant to Bhutan but also serves as an important reference for every country and the entire world to pursue happiness and well-being.Moving ahead, there is anticipation that alongside national happiness indices, a collective "Gross Earth Happiness" index could emerge, enhancing the overall well-being of humanity and nurturing a more harmonious cosmic civilization within the galaxy!不丹的GNH思想，宛如幸福的火種，改變人類以經濟為發展單一量尺的價值觀，啟發人們重新省思生命的幸福，促使政府將幸福納入政策規劃。我們認為不丹的國家幸福力思想，不只針對不丹，更能作為世界上的每一個國家及全體地球創發幸福的重要參考。期待在未來，除了各國的幸福力，更能成全地球加總的「地球幸福力」，形成整體文明的幸福指數，在銀河中創造更美好的宇宙文明！
