3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Overview of Dependent OriginationReviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016
Verified Purchase
I bought this book after being introduced to Dependent Origination (DO) in John Haspel's excellent book "The Truth of Happiness." John has a chapter on DO and I had a reasonable idea of what DO was before I read this book, but I was hoping an entire book would provide additional insight into DO. However, I was disappointed; the book was fine, but I got no more depth out of this entire book then I got out of John's chapter (and, to be fair, subsequent discussions with John).

If you know nothing about DO, this is probably a fine introduction. If you are already familiar with DO, I would pass on this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daily contemplation

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on 12 January 2023

Verified Purchase

I had a free copy of Achaan Chah’s book from decades ago, utterly worn and falling to pieces, and this new copy replaces it.

Achaan Chah’s is one of those rare teachers who can convey the most profound insights concisely in simple language. Each chapter in the book can be taken and read on its own, and be used as a subject of contemplation and insight. In my experience, one can go away with a simple guideline or idea from a chapter in the book during the first reading. Revisiting the same topic after a year or two causes another insight to surface. And the next time there’s a different insight, and so on.

This book is a tool for slow contemplation, where you may come back to one topic many times over decades. It’s not something to be read cover to cover in one sitting. A little basic knowledge of Buddhist ideas can help, specially when Achaan uses some of them to convey his take on it, but one can approach this book with zero exposure to the Buddhist teachings and benefit greatly.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for life

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 29 August 2021

This isn't just a book on meditation. This is a book for life. If you read this book and you really get it, and I mean really get it, you will have absolutely no problems in life and you'll be totally at peace. You'll know what to do when things come up. Some passages in this book I have read several times. Simply because there is so much wisdom between the lines. Buddhism really is the way to go in my eyes. Not because of any dogma. But because the truth is already within you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still Waters Run Deep

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 13 February 2014

Verified Purchase

There is more to this book than I could ever cover in a review, This is the first time I have rated a book as 5-star.Perhaps it was the time I read it, i.e. after reading several books related to Buddhism and meditation. I'm not sure; but whatever the case, this book spoke to me in a special way.

For one thing, I appreciated how Achaan Chah suggested that many, if not all, great world religions have much in common. As a Christian, I found myself calling to mind some words of Jesus that paralleled some words of the Buddha. Of course, there are many differences between the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. But there are many similarities. Consider: When Achaan Chah wrote of material things being empty and impermanent, I thought of Jesus telling his followers to not "...lay up for themselves treasures on earth where moth and rust consume..." That is just one example of many that could be cited. When I began reading Buddhist writings awhile ago, I was interested in Buddhism as a way to help deepen my practice of meditation and prayer. This volume by Achaan Chah offers that kind of help and more. I commend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding; simple, clear, very helpful instructions

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 13 January 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a beautiful book. Achaan Chah's instructions are simple, clear, and direct. There is no theory here, only practice instructions delivered in no-frills, no fuss language. The Introduction by translators and former students (now highly respected teachers) Jack Kornfield and Paul Breiter helps set the tone and scene for learning from one of the late recent Buddhist master practitioners.

The editors/compilers present the teachings in short, easy-to-digest sections and the occasional lovely simple line-drawing. There is also a very helpful teacher Q&A section at the end of the book from when Chan taught a retreat at IMS in Massachusetts before he died.

If you are going to buy one book on Theravadan mindfulness meditation instructions, let this be the one. It is outstanding, worth reading again and again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ajahn Chah's ¨sound bites¨ compilation.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on 29 September 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a collection of Ven. Ajahn Chah's teaching published by the Theosophical Society. It contains a wide ranging assorment of quotes and small-lenght exerpt from talks and is a good place to start to learn about the Thai forest tradition. I personally prefer other collections like Food for the Heart because they present much longer passages from Ajahn Chah's teachings, which help build more context. A Still Forest Pool is more like a pocket version with the more quotable and salient parts stringed together in a series of small chapters. This can give this collection a more Zen-like quality to it, which many people will surely appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt and illuminating

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 24 October 2001

Verified Purchase

This book is a collection of short dharma talks given by meditation master Achaan Chah.

Achaan Chah was abbot of one of the largest monastery complexes in the Thai Forest tradition. He welcomed and trained many western seekers who later returned to the west, becoming influential dharma teachers in their own right.

In this book, Achaan Chah largely eschews "theory" in favor of encouraging his students to practice. Don't expect academic discourses on Buddhist psychology or other esoteric topics. These talks are short (rarely more than a couple of pages), direct, and very inspiring.

Take your time reading this book. If you allow yourself a little time to digest the meaning of each piece, you might experience more benefit than attempting to read the book through in one sitting.

Matthieu Ricard gave up a career in cellular genetics at the Institut Pasteur to study Buddhism in the Himalayas. In this book he shares his wisdom about happiness drawing from thirty-five years of studying Buddhism and psychology.

“A change, even a tiny one, in the way we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world can significantly change our existence. Changing the way we experience transitory emotions leads to a change in our moods and to a lasting transformation of our way of being.”

“Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity; it is a state of being, a profound emotional balance struck by a subtle understanding of how the mind functions. While ordinary pleasures are produced by contact with pleasant objects and end when that contact is broken, sukha—lasting well-being—is felt so long as we remain in harmony with our inner nature. One intrinsic aspect of it is selflessness, which radiates from within rather than focusing on the self.”

Suffering. “According to Buddhism, suffering will always exist as a universal phenomenon, but every individual has the potential for liberation from it… If our mind becomes accustomed to dwelling solely on the pain that events or people inflict on it, one day the most trivial incident will cause it infinite sorrow… In brief, we must: recognize suffering, eliminate its source, end it by practicing the path… So the way in which we experience these waves of suffering depends a great deal on our attitude.”

Ego. “Unlike Buddhism, very few psychological treatments address the problem of how to reduce the feeling of self-centeredness… For Buddhism, paradoxically, genuine self-confidence is the natural quality of egolessness. To dispel the illusion of the ego is to free oneself from a fundamental vulnerability… Genuine confidence comes from an awareness of a basic quality of our mind and our potential for transformation and flourishing, what Buddhism calls Buddha nature, which is present in all of us. Such recognition imparts peaceful strength that cannot be threatened by external circumstances or inner-fears, a freedom that transcends self-absorption and anxiety.”

“In what way is humility an ingredient of happiness? The arrogant and the narcissistic fuel themselves on illusions that come into continuous conflict with reality. The inevitable disillusionment that follows can generate… a feeling of inner emptiness. Humility avoids such unnecessary distress.”

Thoughts. “Learning to tone down the ceaseless racket of disturbing thoughts is a decisive stage on the road to inner peace… If we resign ourselves to being the perpetual victims of our thoughts, we are like dogs who run after every stick thrown for them.”

“When we feel anxious, depressed, cranky, envious, or emotionally exhausted, we’re quick to pass the buck to the outside world; tensions with colleagues at work, arguments with our spouse—anything… can be a source of upset. This reflex is far more than a mere psychological evasion. It reflects the mistaken perception that causes us to attribute inherent qualities to external objects when in fact those qualities are dependent on our own minds. Systematically blaming others and holding them responsible for our suffering is the surest way to lead an unhappy life. It is by transforming our minds that we can transform our world.”

Emotions. “If an emotion strengthens our inner peace and seeks the good of others, it is positive, or constructive; if it shatters our serenity, deeply disturbs our mind, and is intended to harm others, it is negative, or afflictive.” Ricard describes the five mental “poisons”: desire/greed, hatred, delusion “which distorts our perception of reality”, pride, and envy.

“The experience of introspection shows… negative emotions are transitory mental events that can be obliterated by their opposites, the positive emotions, acting as antidotes.” For example, anger can be neutralized by patience. Another method is liberation. Rather than getting overwhelmed by an emotion, you recognize that the emotion itself is just a thought. “The more you look at anger in this manner, the more it evaporates under your gaze, like white frost under the sun’s rays… One moment of anger can destroy years of patience.”

Anxiety. “When trekking in the Himalayas, you often have to walk for days or even weeks. You suffer from the cold, the altitude, snowstorms, but since every step brings you closer to your goal, there is joy in making the effort to attain it. If you get lost and find yourself without bearings in an unknown valley or forest, your courage instantly vanishes; the weight of exhaustion and solitude is suddenly crushing, anxiety mounts, and every step is an ordeal. You lose the will to walk; you want to sit down in despair. Perhaps the anxiety that some people feel likewise comes from a lack of direction in their lives, from having failed to grasp their own inner potential for change.”

Inner freedom. “Inner freedom allows us to savor the lucid simplicity of the present moment, free from the past and emancipated from the future. Freeing ourselves from the intrusion of memories of the past does not mean that we are unable to draw useful lessons from our experience. Freeing ourselves from fear of the future does not make us incapable of approaching it clearly, but saves us from getting bogged down by pointless fretting… What’s the point of worrying about things that no longer exist and things that don’t yet exist?”

Psychology. “Despite the improvement in material conditions, depression is now ten times as prevalent as it was in 1960 and affects an ever younger sector of the population… Martin Seligman has theorized that ‘an ethos that builds unwarranted self-esteem, espouses victimology, and encourages rampant individualism has contributed to the epidemic.’ In his view, exacerbated individualism helps explain the huge increase in the rate of depression in Western societies, partly as a result of the ‘meaninglessness’ that occurs when ‘there is no attachment to something larger than oneself.’ Buddhism would add that it is also surely due to the tireless dedication of most of our time to external activities and goals, instead of learning to enjoy the present moment, the company of those we love, the peace of natural environments, and, above all, the flowering of inner peace that gives every second of life a new and different quality.”

“As for the correlations highlighted by social psychology, in most cases it is unknown whether they act as causes or as consequences. We know that friendship goes with happiness, but are we happy because we have a lot of friends or do we have a lot of friends because we are happy?”

Altruism. “The Buddhist perspective… holds selfishness to be the main cause of suffering and altruistic love to be the essential ingredient of true happiness. The interdependence of all phenomena in general, and of all people in particular, is such that our own happiness is intimately linked to that of others… This corroborates the research of psychologists showing that the most altruistic members of a population are also those who enjoy the highest sense of satisfaction in life.”

Optimism and Pessimism. “For an optimist, it makes no sense to lose hope. We can always do better… Take the current situation as a starting point (instead of wasting our time crying over the past and lamenting the present)… The optimist, even when she has temporarily failed, is free of regret and guilt feelings. She knows how to step back and is always ready to imagine a new solution, without bearing the burden of past failures. That is how she maintains her serenity.” Ricard points out that the pessimist is less productive because “he’ll devote little energy to a task he feels to be doomed from the start.”

Ethics. “Through the interplay of the laws of cause and effect, which Buddhism calls karma—the laws governing the consequences of our actions—ethics are therefore intimately linked to well-being.”

“The main thrust of this book has been to differentiate true well-being from pleasure and other counterfeit forms of happiness. Wisdom is precisely that which allows us to distinguish the thoughts and deeds that contribute to authentic happiness from those that destroy it. Wisdom is based on direct experience, not dogma.”

“Simplifying one’s life to extract its quintessence is the most rewarding of all the pursuits I have undertaken. It doesn’t mean giving up what is truly beneficial, but finding out what really matters and what brings lasting fulfillment, joy, serenity, and above all, the irreplaceable boon of altruistic love… Having a simple mind is not the same as being simple-minded. On the contrary, simplicity of mind is reflected in clarity of thought. Like clear water that lets us see all the way to the lake bottom, simplicity reveals the nature of the mind behind the veil of restless thought.”

대화의 현대적 의의와 필요성을 곁들여서요 ㅎ 어떠신지요?

듣기만 하는건가요?

기본적으로 30분정도 진행 한 후에, 줌을 포함한 참가자가 질의 혹은 코멘트 하는 시간으로 30분 정도 진행해서 1시간 정도 소요 하면 어떨까 싶습니다만,,,

Thursday, 27 July 2023

[金泰昌] [6:11 AM] 김용환교수, 이명권교수, 김종도교수, 세분의 말씀을 통해서

기독교와 불교와 이스람교라는 세계3대종교에 대한 기초적인 비교적 이해와 인식이 이루어지는 계기가 되기를 바라면서 31일의 종교대화

를 기다리고 있습니다. 아마도 우리나라에서는 처음있는 일이 아닐까 싶습니다.

저 자신이 과문한 탓이라면 하교해주시기를 앙망하면서 이런 자리를 마련해 주시는 심광섭목사님과 3분교수님께 감사합니다.

[金泰昌] [1:19 PM] 김종도교수님은 한번도 뵈온 적이 없어서 처음 듣게 되는 말씀에 기대가 크고요 김용환교수님은 직접 인도에 가셔서 예수가 수도여행을 했다고 전해지는 곳을 답사하시고 연구하신바를 책

[金泰昌] [1:31 PM] 으로 내신 저서도 있으시고 불교신자로서 불도의 연구와 실천을 오랫동안 쌓아오시고 최근에는 명상시를 통해서 불시를 통한 치유활동에 최선을 다 하시는 분의 말씀을 여러분과

With Japanese Philosophy: A Sourcebook, readers of English can now access in a single volume the richness and diversity of Japanese philosophy as it has developed throughout history. Leading scholars in the field have translated selections from the writings of more than a hundred philosophical thinkers from all eras and schools of thought, many of them available in English for the first time.

The Sourcebook editors have set out to represent the entire Japanese philosophical tradition―not only the broad spectrum of academic philosophy dating from the introduction of Western philosophy in the latter part of the nineteenth century, but also the philosophical ideas of major Japanese traditions of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shinto. The philosophical significance of each tradition is laid out in an extensive overview, and each selection is accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of its author and helpful information on placing the work in its proper context. The bulk of the supporting material, which comprises nearly a quarter of the volume, is given to original interpretive essays on topics not explicitly covered in other chapters: cultural identity, samurai thought, women philosophers, aesthetics, bioethics.

An introductory chapter provides a historical overview of Japanese philosophy and a discussion of the Japanese debate over defining the idea of philosophy, both of which help explain the rationale behind the design of the Sourcebook. An exhaustive glossary of technical terminology, a chronology of authors, and a thematic index are appended. Specialists will find information related to original sources and sinographs for Japanese names and terms in a comprehensive bibliography and general index.

Handsomely presented and clearly organized for ease of use, Japanese Philosophy: A Sourcebook will be a cornerstone in Japanese studies for decades to come. It will be an essential reference for anyone interested in traditional or contemporary Japanese culture and the way it has shaped and been shaped by its great thinkers over the centuries.

Review

An outstanding sourcebook for all those interested in Japanese philosophy, as well as religious thought, social ideology, and artistic expressions stemming from the classical (Heian) and medieval ( Kamakura) through the early modern (Tokugawa) and modern (Meiji and post-Meiji) periods. . . . All readers of Japanese Philosophy will greatly benefit from and be gratified in finding authoritative versions of philosophical materials, offered in a creative, cross-thematic and historically based fashion. The reader may already be familiar with some of these resources, but may wish to reference or cite them anew, while other sections will provide original translations of philosophers with whom many readers may not yet be familiar or have not previously had an opportunity to reflect upon in depth or view in historical perspective. The Thematic Index is one of the excellent tools that will enable the reader to navigate a path through over twelve hundred years of philosophical writing in Japan. ― Philosophy East & West

This massive tome will stand for the forseeable future as the gold standard for comprehensive treatment of all matters of Japanese philosophy. The three editors, all significant names within this small but growing subfield, have assembled an impressive group of established and up-and-coming scholars to translate and provide introductions to each entry, resulting in a readable sourcebook remarkable in both scope and acuity of analysis. . . . Essential. ― Choice

For anyone really wanting to read primary source material from Japanese philosophy, there is nothing better in the English language. Not a book for the timid or the dilatant. Well over 1000 pages of materials: a great wealth of reading.

The problem I had with the book is that as soon as I open the book the binding of the book broke. It was very dissapointing that it was so poorly made.
I have no comments about the content.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but missing pages.Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2018

This is a wonderful trove of information. Honestly the only negative thing I have to say is that in my copy, during the section on the first major thinker, Kukai, roughly twelve pages or so are missing. It jumps from somewhere in the sixties to about page 80., right into Nichiren. Considering how important both these figures are, this shortage is quite unfortunate. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I've read at least one other review where the customer had issues with the physical quality of the book. Still, for any student of Japanese history, thought, or culture this is simply indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great ReferenceReviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013

One of the difficulties that an English speaker might have in approaching Japanese philosophy is not really knowing where to start and who to work on. As one can see from the table of contents, Japanese philosophy is broad. There are communitarian thinkers like Watsuji Tetsuro, and there are individualist liberals like Fukuzawa Yukichi. There are the Zen Buddhist thinkers like Dogen and Shinran, and severe critics of Zen like Ichikawa Hakugen (who was in himself an incredible Zen man). There are both nationalists and people who got thrown in jail for their views against Japan. Oh and there are female thinkers too. So clearly, Japan outside travel guides is a complex place, difficult to reduce to stereotypes about nothingness, no-self, community, and nihonjinron (Japanese ethnocentrism).

But where does one start? Even if one can read Japanese, a non-native speaker would have a hard time just randomly going through dozens of thinkers trying to find who one finds really worth studying. And that is where I think this book is excellent. If you come across a name in a book or in a lecture, in minutes you can have a grasp of the basic approach of that person and his/her historical context. This book covers almost anyone of note in the history of thought. Spare half an hour and you can read a few selections from key works, translated in excellent and readable English. If you are convinced this person is worth reading, then you can head off to primary sources--likely in Japanese as many of the people taken up in the sourcebook have never been translated to English before.

The Japanese language is difficult, so is the philosophy, and put those two elements together and you have a very forbidding field in Japanese Philosophy. But it is the publication of books like these that make it possible both to research and to teach this subject in English.

This is a great anthology of Japanese Philosophy. There is a lot of information in this book and good for those who want an overview of Japanese Philosophy. I particularly liked that there was a brief introduction to the philosophers before showing their writings.

I bought this book hoping to gain information about Japanese Confucian scholars (and I did), but I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the Kyoto School.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Japan philosophyReviewed in Japan on May 11, 2020
Verified Purchase

This book is incredibly rich in entries and themes as well. It provides a key inside within Japan history and its religious and philosophical ideas from ancient time to modern Japan. Many of the thinkers introduced in this book have never been translated in English either, so it is a great opportunity to discover a wide range of Japanese thinkers through the ages. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars いま日本哲学とはReviewed in Japan on February 27, 2013
Verified Purchase

　英語で出版された、殆ど唯一の包括的な日本哲学に関する参考書。戦後の日本は敗戦の影響もあってか（実際戦前の主な哲学教授は戦後公職追放されましたから）、「日本に哲学なし」を信望し、過去を殆ど顧みることなくフッサール、ハイデッガー、英米系分析哲学、古代ギリシャ哲学の研究に勤しんで来ました。それらの研究は確かに厳密なテキストの読解と意義ある翻訳書の多くを残してくれましたが、同時に「日本において哲学するとは」という視点を、我々に見失わせることになりました。実際好むと好まずと日本人に生まれ、日本語を使って哲学をしているからには、それらの影響を何も受けていないと考えるのは、それこそ哲学的ではありません（もっとも始めから西欧哲学の「普遍性」を信じ込むならこの限りではありませんが）。
　是非、編集者のHeisig氏が執筆しているイントロダクションをお読みください。実は、ハワイ―南山大学のラインを中心に、日本哲学は近年、密かに世界中の注目を集め始めています。過去に中国哲学やインド哲学の影響を受けながら、それを独自の形で消化してきた日本が、近代期に取り入れた西欧哲学とどう折り合いをつけるのか、西田幾多郎をはじめとした多くの哲学者が悩んできたこの問題を、もう一度日本人は考え直すときが来ているのかもしれません。
