《Reading》

is a joy, and delving deeply into the Buddhist scriptures is the finest way for sentient beings to personally savor the nectar of the Dharma. Through sharing and discussion with fellow members of the reading group, we broaden the horizons of the Buddha’s teachings.
With the Dharma in our lives, we find peace and ease; with the Dharma in society, we cultivate respect and inclusiveness; and only with the Dharma in the world can there be true peace, free from conflict.

To uphold Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s idea of incorporating reading into our daily life, Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations oblige Buddhists to pick up Buddhist sutras. The gradual and step by step process helps uncover the truth within Buddhism. It creates enduring learning through different life stages. The group discussions also bring forth the wisdom of collective creation and enhance our religious belief.

“Reading” is an enjoyment. Studying the sutras is the best way to learn Buddhism. Through discussions, we open up the dimensions of Buddhism. With Buddhism, life will be harmonious and free. With Buddhism, society will have respect and tolerance. With Buddhism, the world will be peaceful.Hence, “incorporating reading into our daily life” is not only the mission of Humanistic Buddhist Reading Associations, but also the responsibility of all.

Book Club Family Activity Ranking

2015-06-27 ‧ 活動報導 佛光山慧慈寺各讀書會帶領人6月26日舉辦座談交流,邀請人間佛教讀書會總部妙寧法師、副執行長彭桂芳到場指導,解決帶領人面臨的困境,希望讓讀書會獲得支持,永續發展,並決定成立帶領人讀書會。 慧慈寺住持覺華法師提到,星雲大師小時候因貧窮而無法進學校接受正式教育,透過很強的自覺來「自學」,直到進了棲霞寺才開始讀書。因此大師成立人間佛教讀書會,大力提倡閱讀,希望能成為全民運動。覺華法師勉勵大眾「不僅拜佛,還要行佛」,熱愛讀書,深入了解佛法,才能真正獲得法樂。 覺華法師也感謝義工的無私付出,更希望他們解行並重,在做義工的同時能透過讀書來增長智慧,讓做義工的快樂更持久。例如慧慈寺有環保、園藝、房務等讀書會,大家在勞務之餘,可以坐下來喝杯茶休息,同時一起讀《人間福報》、《佛光菜根譚》,並分享在生活上的體證。 妙寧法師希望讀書會帶領人靈活運用聞、思、修、證四層次,使讀書會更有深度,且不離題。「讀書是一種享受、快樂。」彭桂芳說,閱讀要與生活結合,譬如最近獲得很大迴響的星雲大師《貧僧有話要說》,透過閱讀此書,也是親近大師、向大師學習的一種方式。 針對讀書會帶領人所提參與人數少、時間難滿足大家、怕講話、無法事先準備、讀書氣氛不夠等疑難雜症,彭桂芳提供積極解決方法,例如:共同協商多數人可參加的時間、多利用零碎時間、營造安全環境讓參與人暢所欲言、用心聆聽再分享,最重要的要有「不能少我一個」的心態。
