佛教澹泊思想及其现代启示

佛教澹泊思想主要表现为“以智化欲,方能怀乐精进”;“谦忍和顺,方能处世无累”;“物我两泯,方能破除妄执”;“悟空断苦,方能澹然无忧”。佛教的“悟空”是澹泊的最高境界,达到了“空”的境界,这是最高尚、最纯粹的澹泊。佛教澹泊思想注重身心的宁静、“无我”的道德主体性超越和生命本真的价值深省,对于现代道德建设有着积极的启示。

Thoughts of Buddhist Lack of Worldly Desires and Its Modern Enlightenment

Thoughts of Buddhist indifference to fame or wealth are embodies in four aspects.First,by utilizing wisdom to transform desire,one can be cheerful and make further progress.Second,being modest and exercising patience,one can never be tired in conducting himself in society.Third,sinking extrinsic matter and oneself into oblivion,one can avoid obstinately sticking to a wrong course.Fourth,awaking to the void and getting out of the abyss of misery,one can be simple and carefree.Buddhist "awaking to the void" is the highest state of freedom from worldly desires.Buddhist thoughts of this freedom lays stress on the tranquility of body and soul,and the transcendence of the "non-ego" moral subject and thorough examination of the value of life,which can contribute to modern moral progress.
