《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.

2015-07-12 ‧ 活動報導 由柏林佛光山、柏林中華文化協會聯合舉辦的《巨流河》讀書會,7月11日下午在柏林佛光山舉行。由車慧文博士擔任引言人,並與專程從維也納前來的王玉麒老師及楊儀共同主持,吸引對文學有濃厚興趣的自由大學博士生及各界人士30餘人共襄盛舉。 舉辦此讀書會,因眾人有感戰爭雖然是世界上最可怕的殘暴行為,但人類卻仍不斷在製造新的戰爭。近年來,俄國發動侵佔烏克蘭,令人無法冷漠坐視;生活在德國自由安定社會的人們,不得不悚然思考─人性為什麼總會誤入歧途? 回顧抗日戰爭,當年長期戰亂帶給國家、家庭和個人嚴重的傷害,絕非一兩代人能逐漸平復的事實。佛家有云:「一念迷即為眾生,一念覺可成佛。」為了明瞭歷史真相,減少世人對社會文化關懷的日趨麻木,特舉辦一場朗讀討論會,經由時代見證人齊邦媛教授悠悠史筆的講述,重溫被遺忘、被曲解的史實。 讀書會開始前,柏林佛光山監寺妙益法師致歡迎詞,王玉麒介紹《巨流河》成書歷史背景與書中主要人物簡介;楊儀朗讀「戰爭的面目:逃亡、流亡、死亡…」、車慧文博士朗讀 「文學與我」,大家也紛紛提問與討論。最後現場也有許多人認購《巨流河》一書,所得悉數贊助佛光山弘法事業。
